Hey everyone. First post here. I'm a college junior, film major and audiophile, who, at the moment, watches a movie a night (rather excitedly) on my somewhat recently purchased Vizio LCD TV. And while watching my movies with new visual swankiness is a great pleasure, I feel deprived aurally.
I want to purchase a receiver ($200-400) and a 5.1 speaker system ($400-500) that will really enhance my auditory experience. I'll be getting a nice paycheck from my summer internship in a few days, and I'm hoping to purchase my speaker system somewhat soon. My room at college will be, as you might imagine, rather small. I'm guessing 15 feet by 11 feet or something like that. Based on my own limited (amazon.com) research, I've come up with a pairing of a Harmon Kardon HKTS-18 with an Onkyo TX-SR605. However, after speaking with my dad who reads Stereophile and perusing the forums here, I feel like I might be missing out on a lot of possibilities of which I am simply unaware. Does anyone have any thoughts? I would appreciate any commentary. Thanks, and Im happy to have joined here.
