Browse Forums Home Theatre & Automation 1 Aug 23, 2012 1:58 pm Hi All, I have a laptop that I use as my all in one HTPC – movies, TV, music etc. I am looking to get an amp & speaker package that would server the purpose for under $500. I have seen a few package deals at JB Hifi and looked at this one yesterday: http://www.jbhifi.com.au/home-theatre/y ... sku-90039/ My main priority is for it to allow my music to be cranked reasonably loud – the sales guy at JB assured me this would do the job, but is geared more for your HT movies experience. Can anyone recommend if this would suit my needs, or something similar in that ballpark? Re: Which amp & speaker package? 2Aug 27, 2012 11:04 am For the price point that should be fine. Another one to look at might be this one: http://dicksmith.com.au/product/AE3650/pioneer-vsxs300-av-receiver-with-satellite-speakers Builder: Dennis Family Homes House: Hartley Facade: Provincial Suburb: Lyndhurst Moved in! http://cynash.blogspot.com Re: Which amp & speaker package? 3Aug 28, 2012 9:13 pm For under $500 that would be a reasonable option but I think I would want to define loud... There is loud and then there is loud and clear The larger the speakers the more chance there is of having both but you would need to increase your budget a bit.

But if we put in wall, we have to know from now the size and also buy the speakers immediately. isn't it better to buy something that you would have the option to buy different size in future or at least have the option? 2 Re: Which amp & speaker package? 7Dec 11, 2012 8:57 pm Hi Fekish, Not really. In wall and in ceiling speakers come in lots of different sizes allowing for many different applications. It would be great to be able to locate them symetrically for the installation but most houses allow for this even after it is built. It is definately worth considering. Black on light wood does look good. Not sure if it will be as long lasting as a steel finish? 6 6351 brokers will also be in a position to get you a better rate than the advertised rate most times. 6 7575 Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 7272 |
