I may have to build the system over time instead of buying it all at once. But you gotta do what you gotta do.



Absolutely! I've been preaching this approach for a long, long time. I know it's really tempting to get all your toys at once, but for most people to do that, they've got to cut corners. In the end, they're not happy with what they get, and end up "upgrading" and buying all over again. In the long run they end up paying much more.

Get a nice set of mains, and a good receiver. Build up from there. That's what I had to do. I'm so glad I did. I know have a KILLER system, and don't have a piece that I regret buying.
