Digital Receivers & Speakers

[revlimiter9000]

I purchased three of these: AuzenTech BGI-HDAXP-D HDA X-PLOSION 7.1 DTS Connect Retail (one for myself and for my sister's) and I now need to order speakers and a digital receiver. Any recommendations? Price is not an issue.

Price is not an issue.

This needs to be clarified if you want some good suggestions.

For example, you could start building your system around this bad 7 channel amp:
http://www.wildwestelectronics.net/gfa-7807.html
No reciever, no DSP, nothing. Just an amp. You then need a pre-amp/DSP (http://www.wildwestelectronics.net/marsoundesht.html) and your speakers (http://www.wildwestelectronics.net/pibdbldise5t.html). Don't think of plugging this gear right into the wall, you better get a line conditioner too.

Or I could point you in the direction of a $200 HTIB setup: :rolleyes:

The point is, "Price is not an issue" is not clear enough to give a good recommendation.

Give a rough range that you want to pay.

Thanks Jonathan for the selection. Just what I was looking for. Hey haven't talk to you in a long time? Did you ever get my PM?

I'm kinda partial to HK over Pioneer...

alternative reciever choice:

The speakers+sub look good. I would upgrade the power protection though.

Audioholics deemed it good enough for use in their recommended $25K home theater:
