Skistud07 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hi, new to the forum, and have a few questions. I'm in the process of choosing an audio system for my great room. My wife and I loved the THX Ultra II System, and I'm wondering what receiver you guys would recommend for it. I figure I'll spend around $1,000 to $1,500. I am getting a 1080p tv, so I need the hdmi inputs and all those other goodies. Since I'm somewhat new to all of this, I still need help choosing gear. Also, if she thinks the system will be too ugly for the great room, she said I can get the rf 83 home theater surround system instead, but again, need advice on the receiver, same price range. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerTomato Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Pioneer Elite VSX-84TXSi http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069789_310985784,00.html That's what I would get. Local store had this receiver pushing an RF-83 system, and it was incredible. Has all the HDMI you could need, plus the auto calibration is very well thought of. My budget only allowed for the VSX-81TXV ($750), which puts out 110/channel, but I wanted the 84. Try the forums at avsforum.com, there are some excellent threads regarding most popular receivers.

Skistud07 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks, I'm gonna go check these receivers out and make my final decision. I think I talked my wife into getting the ultra 2 system. Anyone know where to get stands for the speakers, or if they're on the website, I can't seem to find them. thanks again for the replies.
