[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6065489, member: 611275"] I started a thread about the Audiopulse Axis last night, because I was thinking of upgrading my ht sub. That got me thinking....I've been using the same ht setup for years, and a lot has changed in that time. HD is becomming the norm, and I have a pretty nice television. Maybe I should look into upgrading my entire ht setup. I've been looking around for the last several hours, and so far this is what I'm looking at. Please keep in mind that I'll be shopping smart. The links I provided are just the first places that I found the particular items. I'll spend less money for the components if at all possible.
