New Audio stuff

Post by Ryan » Wed Dec 30, 2009 6:29 pm

I just love a good deal. I've REALLY been needing to upgrade my receiver seeing as it has no HDMI and only 1 optical input. I'm really happy w/ the sound over my current JVC RX-3( 2001) and some Samsung HTIB speakers I picked up from a friend. I'm still using the Samsungs for surrounds and you can see my old Sony powered sub in the back that gives me more than enough bass.

I use the Sony PS3 for Blu-ray SACD, and upconverting my old DVD collection. It also can stream a lot of things from my computers at home. It's great as a "HTPC"


Here are my rocking deals I found.

Yamaha RX V465 MSRP $379 Paid Open Box $165 at Best Buy.
Klipsch F1 MSRP $600 Paid $100 off craigslist
Klipsch C1 Center Channel ( not in pic) MSRP $199 Paid $79 shipped on Amazon.
Soon to add
Klipsch S1 surrounds $149 MSRP $299


Total MSRP $1179
Total Paid. $344

Looks nice. :thumbsup: I'll bet it sounds great, too.
I picked up a Klipsch ipod dock and it sounds fantastic.

Thanks guys, I'd love to see some of your HT set ups as well. I've seen setups where the cables cost more than my whole set up at MSRP including the TV!!!

Good idea Ryan. Just started up a thread in the RR, since it gets a bit more traffic. :thumbsup:
