I want to finish a part of my basement for a audio/video room. I m afraid this will take a while to get done ie 2 years. So I m thinking of starting to buy things now so it wont cost me a small fortune when I m ready. The easiest buy would be a big screen tv since we only have a 27 inch sony right now but i m afraid that the technology will only get better and cheaper so I m thinking it would be better to wait. Can the same be said for speakers? Can I buy an audio system now that I can use to complete my home theatre later? Should I wait all together? god am I lost

The prices are definately not going up on those... You could get speakers any time--that's old technology I guess and I don't know that the prices of speakers are changing. About the receiver--if you are content to have 5.1 and don't want to wait for the 6.1 or 7.1 receivers to come down, you could get that now. However, if you buy speakers now, you will be limited in how powerful of a receiver you can get later. I would wait, but that's me.

Save some money to use for the receivers later down the line and then finally the TV. Speaker technology has not changed much and you will probably want to spend the money on those, because the expenditure will add up...believe me, I've been there
