HELP! I want to buy a good home theather system! but i'm LOS

[whiskieman]

I AM TOTALLY LOST!! SO MANY BRANDS SO MANY DIFFERENTS STUFF TO LOOK AT!! and i don't even know if this is the place to post this.. lol.. neway..

i was told that u shouldn't mix brands on a system (with system i mean the TV, VCR, DVD, SPEAKERS and the AV (even though i am not sure that's all u need)).. I was thinking of buying all from SONY,, but i want it to be able to play DVD's from any region.. and i heard that SONY's DVD's can't do that...

so now that u see that I am LOST! and have no idea what to look in a system like the one i want to buy.. could u suggest ANYTHIGN!?!?! even a better place to post this??

btw I live in Europe.. PAL system.. if that matters.. and price shouldn't be a worry.. i wanna buy a GOOD system,, not top notch, but surelly NOT the cheapest possible.. I WANT SOME QUALITY!

well tks for any help! if u prefer to email me, feel free!

Buddy, for home stereos, cheap and quality aren't synonymous. For a beginner system (if you're somewhat an enthusiast), I'd suggest Denon. IMO, those are of acceptable quality. Of course, it's VERY subjective.

Ask the same question there and you'll get some really great answers!

To limit your choices, look for ProLogic II capable receivers. I got my Onkyo 595 for ~$400.
