cdsang Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 The upgrade bug returns. Well, I am looking at 3 things I am thinking of getting but not sure what I should get. I am very interested in the Aragon 2005. The 3005 is very iffy. I want a new amp because my reciver keeps dieing out on me. A nice projector because my 14 inch is just to small. Doesn't need to be top of the line, but HDTV compatible at least with a limit of $2000. I have my eye on the Infocus X2. I was also looking at the SVS PB-2+. That is the model they suggested when they e-mailed me back. I wanted a bit more low end. Louder isn't so much a must at 30hz and up, its 30hz and down. Other suggestons of course are also welcome. I normally play video games and listen to music. Useally CD's(one has 20hz in it) but I wish they had more DVD-Audios or SACDs I want. I am not a fan of either as long as players can play both. My room size is 12 by 11 or around that area. I have a Aragon dealer that gives me at least 10% off and useally expensive stuff, I can get 20% off. Thank you advance CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Get a projector. If you can go with a 16:9 format, check the Panasonic AE-500U or the Sanyo Z2, both in your price range and both very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Well, you have a nice set-up for a small room, I would get a Test CD and a SPL meter for $50, which will show that you probably need some RealTraps to flatten out the sound ($500), that will make everything sound better, I would also get a 32 TV for a couple of hundred bucks, that would be better for watching and playing games from across the room, lastly I would upgrade the receiver (but only because of the bad rep Yammies have on this site), maybe get 5 ASL Wave 8 tube amplifiers and use the Yammy as a multi-channel pre-amplifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdsang Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Well, its good none of you said Aragon because I just found out they don't sell that anymore. I do have a test CD and a Radio Shack SPL meter. I think I got before I even got RF-7s. A nice 32 sound like a good ideaa. I dont want to deal to much with room accustics because its not my house. A Projector sounds like a good idea as I have wanted one ever sense I saw one running. Big picture is the first thing that comes to mind. Picture quailty? Yes it came to mind, but the size just made me ignore it. I care more about audio then video. But thank you for your advice. I will try to look at those things and see if I can get my hands on any of it if I find I really like it. CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 If you are considering a projector, keep in mind that you need to control all the light coming into the room for front projection to work it's best. A direct view television is a better choice for a multipurpose room. Also, keep in mind that projectors have very expensive bulbs, picky had to replace one in his projector, and it was around $ 400 u.s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
