Ok, this is what I have in mind now...
I'm sold on these Sony receivers. They're a little expensive but as I keep looking at all of this equipment, my budget seems to be growing. I like the str da1000 and the cheapest I've found it is $470. Anyone know any other cheaper places? I'm going to spring for the Toshiba SACD player amd a pair of Epos ELS3 bookshelf speakers along with the ELSC3 for the center channel. For now I will have to wait to employ the other 4 channels and the subwoofer will wait as well but I guess it leaves me something to ask for for my birthday or maybe christmas.
So what do you guys think? I'm still very much an amateur at all this so let me know if I'm spending too much here or there or I'm buying something unneccesary.
