From: "John Celio"
I know there are a lot of tech-heads here, so I hope y'all don't mind my
asking such an off-topic question. Please feel free to reply off-list.
Nope! Verboten.
If we let you ask an OT question, everyone will want to ask OT questions
and where is that going to end up?
I'm looking for a basic home theater setup for use with my Xbox and DVD
player. My TV is a big ol' CRT, which I don't expect to be able to
upgrade for some time (unless I find some incredible deals on 40" LCDs
this December), but I'd really like better sound than the built-in
speakers.
The thing is, I know absolutely nothing about home theater equipment and
don't know where to start. What are good brands? What are important
specs to look at? Are there good online guides you can recommend for
this sort of info?
Any sound advice (pun intended) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
About all I can contribute is I have never had much success with Sony
consumer electronics. I only ever had one that lasted more than one day
past the warranty period, and that one failed on day 2.
For a "basic" setup, I'd usually go with whatever the cheapest
"Home-Theater-in-a-Box" package system Costco has, except that it's
probably Sony.
In case you haven't noticed, I don't like Sony. Their reliability *SUX!*
and I still haven't forgiven them for the root-kit debacle.
