Alex T. Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I was thinking about this, what do you guys think? Denon 2105 Klipsch RB-75s for fronts Klipsch RB-35s for rear Klipsch RC-7 center Dayton Titanic MKIII 15" Sub Haven't decided on TV yet. I know it will be a 56" for sure in regards to size. New Samsung DLPs interest me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Alex, I think that Denon and Klipsch blend well together. Your selection of speakers is great, and I am impressed that your building your own sub! way to go! Remember - If it sounds good to you- thats all that counts! Good Luck Post Pictures when you can.......... EDIT: CNET editors' preview Reviewed September 15, 2004 The Denon AVR-2105 ($649 list) is the step-down version of the AVR-2805. Both are 7.1-channel receivers with similar features, but there are some notable differences. The AVR-2105's 90-watt by 7-channel power rating is slightly below the 100-watt-per-channel output of the 2805. The 2105's connectivity options aren't as extensive as the 2805's: it has one coaxial input, four optical inputs, one optical output, eight stereo audio-only inputs, five composite-video inputs, and five S-Video inputs. Other major differences from the 2805 include its lack of audio signal (lip-synch) delay, no discrete second zone composite-video output, no detachable power cord, and a nonbacklit remote. Please refer to the AVR-2805 review for more information. CNET editor's take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelerFan Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I think your HT is going to a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMcGoo Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 The speakers that you propose should work well if you like horns. For a receiver, you should also look at Pioneer. They have several models that can play as well or better than the Denon IMO. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Duminy Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I think this system should sound excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 everything looks good exceept for that puny little denon. why get good speakers and than scrimp on a receiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex T. Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Ahhh scrimp on a receiver? The Denon 2105 is an amazing receiver and is already costing me $1000 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 ouch, thats gotta hurt. they list at 649.00, but my reason for my statement is that denons lower end gear lacks dynamics, punch, especially in extreem passages, plenty of bells and whistles, but lacking in overall sound quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex T. Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 keep in mind I said $1000 but I'm talking Canadian currency here. And I wouldnt' consider the 2105 low end Denon, there are at least 4-5 models below this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I have the 1803 and it is far from lacking in any regard with my less than efficient Marantz 940's. I would characterize the denon sound by being a little on the dry side as opposed to being very warm or bright sounding. The dynamics are definetly there and the only time I could notice the amp straining was at 110+ dB in a fairly open room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoker Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 As far as your display. If your thinking about DLP's the Samsung DLP's are very good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex T. Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thanks, ya I was actually looking at the new Samsungs, they are pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmaple Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I think the Denon receiver will work great for you. I used to run a Denon AVR-2803 and was very happy with it. The 2105 sounds like a lot of receiver for the money. If you decide against the DIY sub, I would suggest SVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minn_male42 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 another receiver that has received extremely good reviews for the dollar and works well with klipsch is the pioneer 1014x it should sell for less than the denon unit you are considering!

Alex T. Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion on the Pioneer, I will definately look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed3 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Did you think about an SVS PB12 ISD or Outlaw Audio LFM 1 subwoofer for that kind of money? Quite similar performance for a little less money, and laready assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex T. Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 The SVS is pretty nice indeed I agree, however, the Titanic is a 15" woofer and for the price I can't beat that. Assembling it is not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
