TO, I need home stereo help.
TO, I'm posting here in public since perhaps there are others who might be in my situation. I also post in the ti*s and cli*s section so I don't have to listen to some of the opinions in the OT section.
Anyway, here's the poop. I've been sans a home stereo for about 6 or 7 years. I have a boombox, but mostly listen to music in the car where I can blast the crap out of it. My last real home stereo was one of those 80's monstrosities, a component system with those speakers as big as a Volkswagen. Well, wifey wants to buy a new entertainment center and redo the living room (i.e.... I redo the living room). So I was thinking maybe it's time to wrangle a stereo into the deal. Anyway, I want best bang for my buck, but I would like to keep it around the 5 to 7 hundred dollar range. Yeah, I'm cheap, but that's life. I'd rather put money into a Marshall than a stereo, but life is all about choices.
I know you work in a high-end sound place, and I have a buddy in town who mods stereos for people with big wallets, so I know that a person can spend as much as they want to spend on a system. I'm not one of those people, though (too bad), and was wondering what I might be looking at in that price range.
Oh, all I need is a CD player, radio receiver, and speakers. Sound quality more important than volume, and don't need a ton of volume either. Multi-disc player is preferrable. Home theater not included in this purchase, but perhaps in the future.
Thanks
