Hi all
My apologies for the random post which definitely won't live up to your technical knowledge and expertise! Im building a mini home cinema set up and need an AVR, speakers and Home cinema projector. Note im living in the UK so im buying UK spec.
I appreciate the topic is very complicated but my basic requirements are:
- I would say I would spend 40% of time listening to music from iOS devices or watching MTV through it, 20% on movies and 40% gaming through PS3 through it
- Airplay is a requirement for me but there are options as per below
- Music is very varied from hip hop and bass style stuff to movie sound tracks and classical.
For Speakers I want the Q Acoustics Cinema 2000 range which are on offer in SuperFi for £399 (unless any expert here thinks they aren't great or I can get better for similar money)
Options for the AVR are:
1. Pioneer VSX 921 K with built in Airplay, 150w per channel (?) and 7.1
2. Onkyo TX NR 609 which is less (110w?) per channel, 7.2 and supports THX + I buy Apple TV and plug this in for Airplay
The latter costing me around £180 more in total
Options for Projector are:
1. Epson EH TW 5900 or 6000
2. Optoma HD 33 or 300X
I tested the AVR's side by side and couldnt tell much difference but that was only in 10 mins and we (including the salesman) im sure didnt get the settings right for THX mode or Stereo mode etc etc
Any help or input deciding would be appreciated!!
Many thanks
