Hi.
I'm thinking about getting an audio system to go along with my rig/home theatre.
Looking to spend no more than $1000 USD.
I was looking at this Yamaha setup (http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.jsp?id=pcmprd88900050000&skuId=999988800050000&type=product).
It looks reasonably good. My dad is a musician so he does a lot of sound tech stuff. He says that 2.1 emits better quality, and he prefers it, and 5.1 is only good enough with very good quality. I haven't had him take a look at these yet. But I don't know if he's being typically afraid of tech like some older people, or he knows his stuff and they really aren't as good.
I'll get him to take a look at this later, but what do you think?
I took a look at the BOSE systems but they're very expensive, and most people have told me that they aren't as good as you'd expect, for the price ($2000.00+).
With an investment this big I'd like to check out all my options.
Also if you know anything about power/rewiring/electrics please send me a pm, right now I'm running out of outlets and most high-end stuff needs to be on it's own circuit.
My computer setup is going to need at least another 10 outlets in the next few weeks.
I just got a sole air conditioner to keep everything that bit cooler, but what do you think optimum temperature would be with all this equipment.
Thanks for reading this bloated thread,
Charlie :)
