Discrete HT. I hate minis and all-in-ones. An amplifier shod be like my old Kenwood, big, black, with big transistors and bigger heat sinks. Yeah I know they use ICS now.
I guess my definitiom of "not shit" is that it subjectively sounds good to the typical person. Bank, let's say less than four bills for the amp.
I haven't really decided the speaker configuration
Either 2 L/R front + center or same with a sub. I can add to it later when I'm not broke. Let's say I want to stay under a grand for the amp + starter speakers.
I'm more inclined to want bookshelf / satellite speakers than floor speakers. I don't need any input devices.
I like loud music as much as the next guy but I don't need to make enemies of my neighbors, if you get my meaning.
Denon? Onkyo? Polk? Klipsch? I see a lot of Pioneer and Yamaha gear but I don't know if they're good brands any more, if they were ever.
