Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Suggestions for TV, receiver and DVD Player

There are all kinds of options as you can see. Since a lot of it has been covered, let me suggest a remote. I have the Pronto TSU-3000 and love it. There are still a few bugs on the PC software but it really is a fantastic remote with the ability to define all aspects of the interface. Plus it has a bunch of hard buttons which the other Prontos lack.

For your room size:

Speakers: M60,VP150,QS-8,VTF-2= $2100

TV: Pioneer Elite 530 or 630 (53" or 58")= $2600-$3400- plus up to 1k rebates that end in Sep

DVD: Pioneer 536A= <$200.00

Receiver: Rotel RSX-1055= $1300.00

That family room is too damn clean...

You didn't think I cleaned it a bit before taking pictures?

Oh, and don't forget my strong recommendation of leaving the coffee table MESSY, in order to diffuse away early reflections! LOL

Hey Robin,

I guess it all comes down to your preferences.

TV - (Direct-View vs RPTV)
--------------------------
Direct View - Sony 34HS510 (Widescreen)
RPTV - Hitachi 46F500 (Widescreen), Hitachi 51F500 (Widescreen)

Speakers - I'm guessing since you're in this forum that you like Axiom.
---------

M80ti's (why not go bigger)
VP150
QS8's
HSU or SVS sub

DVD Player - Denon DVD2900 (there's a recent good deal for B-stock)
-----------

Receiver or Pre/Pro
-------------------

Denon 3803
Rotel RSX1055 or 1065
Rotel RSP1066/RMB1075

That should run you around the $8000 budget you're aiming for, give or take a few $100, depending on what kind of deals you can get. I know that I could get the Axiom's for 10-20% off as there's a local dealer where I live. I'm sure you can get a good deal if you do enough searching on all components. One dealer I went to is willing to give me 23% off (still comparing products) Monitor Audio speakers and Denon.

Thanks for all your help guys!
You've definitely given me a good starting point for purchasing a system.
