20k budget for receiver and sub
« on: Dec 07, 2009 at 12:52 PM »
Newbie Help

I have a Playstation 3 and 2 Bose front speakers already (newbie, sorry, I still don't know what those are called and their model). I plan to stay within the 2.1(priority) to 5.1(max) area.

What do you recommend for Receivers and Subs for this (20k) budget?

Should I go for DTS-HD because of the Playstation? Or should i just stay with older models? This will be used mostly for Playstation and Movies/Shows/TV. Seems like I won't be needing an upconverter because the Playstation 3 does that.

Once I have the 2.1 set up, I don't think i will update to 5.1 soon. But if my receiver can be prepared for these (upconversion and DTS-HD) and fit the budget, I would not mind.
 
What do you guys think?

Your inputs, with me being a noob, would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

receivers with HD audio decoding and sub with your budget..i think you can settle for 2nd hand rcvrs and diy sub since your budget is only 20k

I suggest..receiver muna..then sub..then upgrade your fronts..buy center and rears :D
