Apologies for how dunb this may sound but this audio is an unknown field for me.
I am in the process of purchasing a new sony plasma TV and want to get 5.1 surround kit at the same time. Questions:
1)Do I NEED a seperate amp or can the 5.1 system work through my DVD? (good sony dvd) 2) What is a good affordable 5.1 set-up 3) What is a not-so-good but very cheap alternative? 4) I have been offered 5.1 speakers and sub-woofer made by videologic for a very cheap pric (no amp) - any thoughts?
That is a very tight budget. However, I can recommend the HK AVR130 coupled with Mordaunt Short Premiere. A nice little budget system a little over your budget, but you can use the Video Logic if ou have to. Just save up for upgraded speaker later.
