I have tried everything over the years, Luxman reciver, b&k reciver, adcom gfa-7500 amps,paradigm speakers, a/d/s speakers, cheap cables, expensive cables and i have come to one conclusion. There is only one way for people of moderate income to build a home theater and have a truly nice sounding system when they are done. You build it over several years and you dont scrimp on any single item. all of the above experiements where dismal failures that cost alot of money. once i made up my mind to build it right, listened to the equipment and based my decesion on what sounded good not what was cost effective at the time i started to build a nice system. After 5 years i have a pretty nice sounding home theater. My advice is buy what you LOVE and only what you LOVE and then wait untill you can afford the next piece that you LOVE. any other system leaves you thinking "well this sounds ok but it could...."
