Home Theater suggestions
Did a search and couldn't find anything so hopefully this isn't a repeat thread.
TV: Toshiba 46" 1080p 120Hz TV
Sources: Xbox360 (HDMI), PS3 (HDMI), Wii (Component), PS2 (Component), HDTV Shaw box (HDMI). More sources may come in the future. Already playing with the idea of a HTPC which will also be HDMI. Must accept HDMI Audio! Ipod connection would be nice too.
Room: pretty close to 15'x15'. TV area takes up about 75% of that. Open concept so not enclosed. It's in a penthouse condo corner unit so I share 1 wall with 1 neighbor (floor too but concrete construction so not likely to leak much noise) but still don't want to disturb them too much!
Budget: Around $1k all in. I don't mind waiting on sales to get things cheaper.
What I was thinking of getting was the Yamaha HTR6260B and pair it with the Energy Take Classic 5.1 Home Theatre Speaker System. Are these good brands? Would this be a good beginner setup? Any other suggestions (I know to stay away from Bose)? Also, what about speaker cables and the other small bits I may need? Like everyone visiting this site, I'm trying to get the best for the least. I prefer buying new because can be unsure about used stuff sometimes except for maybe speaker cables, stands, etc...
