New home theater advice?


Many of you have probably seen my posts and might be familiar with my ideas, but here goes. My big case finally came through and I have about 35,000 to spend on a new setup. I will be about 50/50 between listing to audio and dvd/tv play back. Please help me design a system. unfortunately i live in memphis tn and dont have many options as far as dealers go. Please advise me.

Tahnks!!!

Gonna have to buy some used, but here are at least some suggestions, based on what I would do if I 35 g's burning a hole in my pocket, and didn't have to pay all that back alimony and child-support.

Stage 1
Aeriel speakers all the way around, including a sub. Theta CasaBlanca pre/pro and the Camelot Roundtable DVD player. Amps, probably Proceed HPA 2's and 3's as needed, or Bryston 4Bst's. All that will be about $25k, give or take, again buying much of it used.

Stage 2
Now add a HDTV sat.receiver, a high perf. flatscreen or rear projection t.v., interconnects, a psaudio powerplant and if you are lucky, you'll have just enough for an SACD player of some sort.

If so, well, you're there--the promised land. Or, you could just go to Vegas, and try and turn it into $70k. so you can step into a real system (3 stages) instead of the clunker outlined above, which is what I would do. Can't miss using my roulette double-down system. Email for further details.
Hi, Marsh: I just finished reading Kublakahn's happy post in which he reflects of the goodness of another Audiogon participant. In that spirit, I have a simple solution: please send the $35K directly to me, and I will be glad to build your system for you...
Looks like Thunders has you on the right track, check out the Pioneer pro 610 or 710 hdtv's for around $7k. also check out lexicon, krell and thiel as well. good luck.
