Ano ba ideal na receiver sir? Like malaki ba diff if I go let's say with the high end receivers compared to the mid level or entry level?
It actually depends on your needs, Is you room big? Do you need a lot of power to fill your room with sound? The ideal receiver is what sounds best for you and will cater all your needs HT needs...
Low end receivers, means lower power and fewer features, but the question is, do you need all that power and features? I have a mid level receiver and to be honest hindi ko ata nagagamit kahit kalahati ng power and features ng receiver ko eh.. But then again you also need to take into account the load of your receiver, meaning how efficient your speaker is..
The Polks are very easy to drive.. You dont need a lot of power to make them sing Loud, well maybe except if you get the RTi A9, but then again if you have a small room you wouldnt need an RTi A9 or a very high powered receiver..
Planning your HT is the key... Asking the forum for ideas is the next step.. Then Auditioning if it sounds good to you. But remember, what may sound good in the store may not sound good at your room..
Happy hunting..
