Hey can y'all give some suggestions for some pre/pro's and some amps that I should look into? I'm only gonna be having Monitor 70's for fronts, CS 2 for center, Monitor 40's for surrounds & rear surrounds, and PSW 12 sub for a little bit. I might upgrade the sub in a little bit but not too sure. I need some suggestions of who to look to for a good pre/pro & amp and how I should hook up each speaker. Thanks

    Have you found the search button ????
    Start reading, searching, and quit asking so many stupid questions!!
    You have got to be the moast lazy person here!!

    I will give you a hint though figure out how much $$ you have find all the gear that you can afford then start searching the internet for reviews and comments, then narrow down your decision. Thats how we all do it.

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    thought less quotes by polk audio lsi

    (QUOTE) On a serious note though it's just me and my girlfriend are in some serious financial trouble right now and it's been a big thing to me to have my own home theater system for a couple of years now. And it's taken me a couple of years to have just A LITTLE and I'm soooo impatient to have a really nice home stereo that I tend to blabber on and on about something that, honestly, I'll probably never have. So I really do apologize.(QUOTE)

    Agreed. If you are in financial trouble, and you spend any amout of time asking about HT setups instead of busting your **** to make some money, your priorities are seriously out of whack.

    I honestly thought you were just saying to be mature and ignore him (ie, do not reply to his initial post in the first place). I didn't think there was an ignore button/function. . . guess I was wrong.

    Thanks for heads up cfrizzle!

    Been awhile since we had a thread like this.........I was beginning to think all the fun went out of this board. But then comes in Wonder Audio Boy polk_audio_lsi..........and Bam...........fun times again!

    There is always ONE around the corner.

    My suggestion...sell everything you have and start over. Your 1st new piece should be
    370hssv-0773h
    that'll get 'er done.

    Y'all are just too cruel... Don't you realize that polk_audio_lsi abbreviates to "pal"???

    So, pal, suggest you visit the websites for B&K, Outlaw, Rotel, and Sunfire. There you'll find lots of pretty pictures which you can download and add to your showcase.
    More later,
