Advice - high-end expectation // beer budget
If this is the wrong ng, apologies and request pointer to the right one...
My Harmon/Kardon amp is now 20 years old. Time to move on. The world
has changed.
I want a new amp. Actually I want the "home entertainment" thing in
here too (is that blasphemy here?).
I am looking at inputs/outputs for:
-turntable
-two cassette tapes
-two VHS VCR's
-one DVD
-one television
-I only have my faithful Mission 707's (still pumping), but they will
likely be replaced.
-I will do the "home theatre" thing, which means at least 4/5 main
loudspeakers and a subwoofer.
The amp will include (I assume) the AM/FM tuner, although I don't listen
to radio at home very much.
My DVD player has analog, "5.1-channel", Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital
and dts.
What brands/models of "receiver" will fill my needs at a modest cost.
"BIG SOUND" is not as important as quality sound. If I put a limit of
US$300 on this amp... where does that get me? ...$500?
--what "good" brands? Particular models.
--what brands to run from?
Cheers,
Alan.
