Best thing I can recommend is to listen and listen and listen. Find the home audio specialty shops go in lie to them a little about your budget and listen to really good stuff. GO to Best Buy and Circuit City and listen to their display rooms and find something that sounds like what you want it to sound like. Bring in your own DVD’s or CD’s they get a little pissed sometimes when you do this but who cares you are making a serious investment so you might as well listen to how your own stuff is going to sound on it. What sounds good to one person may **** for another so listen and find what you like.
