Hi all, long time lurker, new poster. I am planning on buying a home theater system in April. I am willing to spend some coin, but I want a system that will last me a long time with no continuous costly upgrades.
I have tentatively decided on the Axiom M80 system with an SVS subwoofer and the Yamaha RXV2400 receiver, but I have a few questions.
First, I really like the look of the RBH T1 Signature speakers. Is there a real difference in the sound quality that their "futuristic" looking aluminum cones have compared to the Axiom cones? There is a HUGE price difference, the RBH are $6000 CDN each, erg. What makes them that much better?
I have seen a ton of lower priced speakers with the new cone style, far cheaper than the RBH ones (probably just cheap knock-offs) and I am wondering whether the new cones are better, and if so, why Axiom doesnt use them.
Second, for the SVS users on this board, I am trying to decide between the PC-Ultra and the tallest PC-plus. The ultra is far more expensive, and is doesn't seem to have the same range as its cheaper brother (PC-plus goes down to 16HZ, ultra is only 20). Has anyone ever heard the two subwoofers that can give me a comparison?
I still have not decided on a tv though. Hardest part. I am trying to decide whether to cheap out here and get a rptv that is 40" or so and get a huge DLP (or LCoS) in 05 or 06, or whether I should buy a top of the line rptv now and use that indefintely.
Thoughts, facts, and opinions appreciated.
