My brother is about to step into the wonderful world of home cinema. Unfortunately he doesn't have a massive budget - and I mean really low by the standards of some of the kit on these pages.
So its down to goof 'ol Richer Sounds and see what they have.
Their magazine has a Cyberhome DVD, AIWA receiver and Gale Speaker package for under £300, or an all in one system for similar money (AIWA, Panasonic or Sony etc)
I've suggested he up his budget slightly to get a set of Eltax Liberty speakers as an upgrade to the Gales (this package got an excellent write in HCC magazine and did retail for a suggested £500, as did the Cyberhome). I know Eltax capable of producing decent kit as I have a similar set myself.
His argument against the separates is the usual "my wife won't like it", "They're too big". I reckon the sonic difference alone from the Eltax should swing it.
Any suggestions and comments welcome - especially on what benefits are to be gained from separates
Cheers
Chris
