yea, I would have never imagined..honestly..NEVER...esp a cheap part of it like the cables..i mean $60 shipping and all...
i forgot to order the extra 6 ft for my sub tho...so right now its in the wrong place and my center is turned off(not worried about that) but my sub is on a short cable, so its pointed sideways BEHIND my entertainment center...i know it will sound SO much better when that is in the right place...
next, is my speakers...I am thinking about the tannoys that Oade has for sale on his site...around 350$ for the speakers..and then I will probably build my own (2 channel) from the links that nick posted in a few threads down, those look to be really nice, and you can build the pair for around 150$..heck..i might do this first...but I have NO clue about the crossover diagrams...thats the only part that worries me...I have never attempted anytihing like that. Finally, I will upgrade my reciever, probably the sony that is gettig so much fluff....its a decent price, and has the features I want...i.e. an extra channel for another room, so i can have my 5.1's and my 2 channels hooked up and just alternate depending on what im doing(movies/music), becuase I am limited to one room. I REALLY thinking about building a small server with 4-5 200gb harddrives in raid, and adding ALL my collection to that and streaming it straight to the reciever..but I saw that most said get an external DAC, and I htink this is a pipe dream, as those look pretty expensive....my wife is going to kill me when I actually tell her these plans...
