hi...i had originally posted a thread seeking advice on setting up my HT. thanks for all those who responded, esp. dinyaar for his sound advice. work being what it is, i had to break off my search for a couple of months & now im back on track to complete what i had set out to do.
we will be returning from the US to india in june. after browsing several threads in this forum as well as advice to my thread, im convinced at least to startup with my HT in the US. i'm more convinced by dinyaar's advice to go for book shelf speakers than floor standers due to issues with shipping, customs & potential servicing troubles with dealers in india (hopefully i dont hit that last snag). also, the thinking is i can spend limited resources on slightly better gear, even if i'm scaling down to a book shelf, while postponing the floorstanders by 3-5 years.
i've narrowed down to the dali ikon 2 (i'm tempted by the dali monitors too) and B&W CM1. there is a lingering thought on the paradigms, but i've to re-audition them.
instead of a HT setup, i'm thinking of the peachtree nova, since the primary purpose of this setup is for music. will i be able to drive dvd-audio through the peachtree to my bookshelf speakers and get relatively good performance?
please advice.
also, any suggestions on a CD/DVD player in the $500-700 range and similarly for a turn table? please suggest.
thanks.
