Hello all, I am a bit of a noob in this area so I thought it would be best to get some opinions. I currently have and all in one JVC-THV70R DVD system and a JVC 42" VM-42D30E plasma I am looking to replace.
I have bought a Panasonic DVD S97 DVD player and am going to get one of the new gen Hi-Def 42/43" Panny or Pioneer Plasmas due out at the end of this month, however I have no idea as to the Amp or Speaker set I need to go with them. I want to hook up my Sky+ box, DVD and my X-Box all in Hi-quality as possible, I don't have that much cash left mind, only about £500 max to get both the speakers and the amp (I could possibly stretch to a tad more but really don't want to, well I say I don't' want to, it's more the wife will kill me).
I have heard the Denon AVR-1705 and the Denon AVR-1905 are both pretty good, as are the Pioneer VSX-C502 and the Sony STR-DB795 but they only have 4 outputs each to the Denons 7 or 8, and as far as speakers go I have no idea except that I hear the Kef KHT1005 are pretty good compacts, which is what I want as instead of full size. Any extra comments on leads etc will be appreciated.
Thanks for any input.
