I'm dreaming up a killer system. Tell me if you would change anything.
By the way, I got all of these prices from http://amsound.com/
Denon AVR-5803 $2950
Polk Lsi-25 $2199 per pair
Lsi-c $499
Lsi-9 $750 per pair
Lsi-fx $725 per pair
Psw 650 $950 for two
B&K Reference 7270 7 channel amplifier $2599

All of this totals up to $10672. I've left a nice cushion of $3328 for various expenses *shipping, cables-which I'd probably get from this place http://signalcable.com*

Now I ask....what would you change???

    A Runco projector. That'd burn up just about 14k.

    Hell, you could get two of those Real Dolls and a helluva lot of beer..for that matter. But you're missing the point. :D I guess I should have been more specific in the title of this.
    If you had 14 grand to throw around on a full home theater system *no video* what would you buy???

    Man, eff HT.....

    14G's? Ima get my Krell amp on....maybe a transport/DAC

    After that, maybe try and look for some cool vintage gear, ala Dayton-Wright XG-8's

    Actually, I'd probably put it into building a bigger, better mancave.

    ....or send them the gear that you agreed to sell them. That's a pretty novel idea.

    Nope, it would appear as if he was pretty much right-on with this character....

    Too bad he doesn't show his brylcreme soaked head round' anymore...but can't say I blame him. He was essentially shown the door....for simply looking out for other members....

    G and the wifebeaters....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

    not only was he entertaining but has probably forgotten more about audio than most of us will ever know. That dude has owned more gear than most of us will ever demo.

    That guy has waaaaaay too many horror stories trailing behind him. I can't believe he has the audacity to smoke and mirror someone else. What a chump. :rolleyes:

    How much would you save on the Lsi system if you used Brandnamez.com instead? :eek:
    That's allot of upgrade money.

    Best prices on a lot of speakers, including polk lsi's.
    My recent purchases there:
    Lsi15s - $1049 plus 200 shipping (For the pair)
    Lsi9s - $619 plus 50 shipping (For the pair)
    LsiC - $349 plus 30 shipping

    Total package 2297.
    THey also have the LSi25s for 1749, and the LSifx for 599 (Both are prices for the pairs) This guy sells everything cheap, and honors all manufacturers warranties, also offers other warranty plans for purchases. You can also request stuff through him and he can usually get it. Way better prices than most places.
