[Tiger]

ive just bought myself some bose acoustimass 10 speakers...

can anyone recommend me a a half decent receiver to run these under 200 quid?

home cinema isnt really my strong point, im not really clued up on it at all

the speakers are recommended for amps of 70-100 watts per channel

thanks

If you can stretch an extra £40, then this is the daddy

[Evil Ally]

Aye that's a good amp, I have one myself. 75w per channel if I remember right, not that wattage actually means very much! I also have a paradigm PDR8 sub woofer kicking around if your interested?

Where did you get the shiny dolby plaque from

B&W do a set of speakers like that, amazing speakers

 

[Dave S2K]

My Sony STR DB940 is still going strong after 6 years, should be able to pick one up for peanuts second hand, tiny bit overpowered for those speakers though.

HiFi gurus wouldn't advise Bose

these are very good performers for the price - Was looking to get the sony HTSS1000 reciever but that comes with speaker package for about £220 also you can get the yamaha with a speaker package called the AV59 for about £220 aswell - all a very good start to home cinema setups on a budget.

hmmmm what would you advise out of those 2? im clueless lol

surely it cant be THAT bad?

 

[Longy]

probs the denon to be honest - are you restricted to space ? if so worth looking up the sony as its slimline

does the sony just have as many features being slimline? im not really tight for space but if the slimline one is just as good i might opt for that...

thanks for the links btw you got one to the sony?

thanks

 

[Karl3158]

I have a full Bose set up, sounds crisp and clear! I certainly couldn't justify £20K on a set of speakers!! I like the Bose for it's simplicity, compactness and great sound. Sure there's always something better out there, but nothing I have listened to on the Bose has ever sounded shite..

Just putting in my pennies worth,

little bit more expensive but is a very good reciever, can be picked up for £220 somewhere but can't find the website again lol

 

[LegoHead]

Ideally I want £250 for the amp, but no it's not worth 250. Send me offers via email.

thats the sony one - good thing about this one is that it has 2 x HDMI inputs aswell so if you have a HDTV with only one HDMI socket its a great buy.

 

[Tiger]

i like the look of that Sony one altho since ive got the bose, i wouldnt need the speakers so would i be better just stickin with the denon?

is it hard to set up these receivers to get true 5.1 surround sound?

is there any kind of dummys guide to home cinema? lol

 

[Longy]

I got that TV I have got the Samsung HD950 DVD which is a upscaling DVD and has a output via HDMI.

So in a typical set up you can have - HDMI DVD player connected to the TV (or receiver) Xbox 360 connected via component to the TV - the DVD has digital coxial output and xbox has optical out that you use to connect to the reciver for digital 5.1 sound - and the TV has optical out so for things like freeview and stuff you can use the pro logic 2 setting - only SKYHD has digital 5.1 sound output for normal telly.
