What shall i do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christoff2k (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Wednesday, 27th December 2000, 18:56

I`m thinking about getting a home theatre kit. What is the best option to go for:

1. All in one system like the videologic.
2. Get a AV amplifier and some surround sound speakers.

Any advice on what i should get????????

Hey, exactly the same problem I`ve got!

The thing is always comes down to is cash - exactly how much do you
plan to spend in order to turn your house into a home cinema
extravaganza?

I`d more or less decided on the Videologic Digitheatre - everywhere I
read about it, it was getting rave reviews. It was an all in one
package, and it was a decent price too! Then I heard from the other
side of the fence - the Digitheatre is primiarily manufactured for
computers, you`re limiting yourself to future expansion, and you can
kit yourself out with an AV amp and some nice speakers for a similar
amount of money.

So, from a personal point of view, I`m heading towards the amp/speaker
solution - you have much more to choose from, and you can
update/expand at your own leisure.

As for what to go for, I haven`t a clue myself even. I`ve got hold of
the latest catalogue for Richer Sounds, and you can kit yourself out
with a solution for under 200 quid, but you could also end up spending
an absolute fortune.

I`d love it if there was a guide for what people thought where the
best combinations of amp/speakers within a given price range, but if
there is, I haven`t found it.
