Useless Thread MDCXIX - Gord Downie Appreciation Thread

Peg and I got you fam. Name your price limit and features you want.

Price is always tricky and to be honest I haven't even looked to see what ballpark I'd need to start at. I don't like to spend more than I have to, but recognize that quality means $$$. Say around $1K unless that doesn't get me anywhere. I know you can spend an infinite amount if you want/can.

I currently have one of the older Sony ready to go deals where you get a 1000w receiver, 5 speakers, and a SW. It's from just before they started incorporating the blue ray player in the receiver. ~$300 at the time iirc.

One of the drawbacks to mine is that there's no hdmi in the receiver. It's all red/white, one optical, one fiber optic and newer electronics seem to be moving away from those outputs. I remember my new cable box was a pita to hook up because my old one had a digital out, but the new one didn't so I had to go r/w into the tv and then 3mm headphone jack to r/w in on the receiver. Something like that.

It might be easier to tell you what I'm working with more than what I want.

Sony Smart TV
PS4
Cable Box
Roku
PC on rare occasion

Smaller living room (15' x 25' maybe?)

Mine seems like it has no balls. Not sure if that's age or what. It still sounds decent, but it has to be on 40-55 (60 max)

Just dumped a bunch of cumin into my oatmeal by accident. Thought I had grabbed the cinnamon. ****.

Like on Drake and Josh

You were flavouring a waffle! Not a chimichanga!

Never thought I'd hear someone start with "Like on Drake and Josh." Just like I'll probably never see someone start with "It's like that time on According to Jim."

You can't go wrong with Denon receivers. If you don't want all that, then you can always get a less expensive model and maybe upgrade your speakers.
