I'm also looking for home theater set.. below 1k..
Can use altec lansing ka?

But not AVR....most sound and music company is still very focus on what they do....you won't see Denon, Onkyo, Marantz, Yamaha TV or fridge.

Hehehe..cant imagine if Yamaha produce fridge or microwave

Come to think of it,can we use 2.1 multimedia speakers for the LCD TV?

Imagine a Yamaha fridge

You can, but there's no DD/DTS decoding.....only sounds louder, but no Oomph or high pitched effects etc.

of course can, been using it for years.. now its time for to find a good value HTiB...

Who says you need a SONY AVR to pair with a SONY PS3 or with a SONY TV?????

Haha! I know that... even my tv is TOSHIBA not sony..
only that its good to have the same brand right

I don't see any relevance a PS3 needs to go to a SONY AVR at all. There's no advantage or all, or wil it sound better.

guys what is the difference between these 2...

A 32 bit digital amplifier vs a 24 bit digital amplifier?

Lolz this topic has become more technical



I wouldn't mind,u think it's good to get a 2.1 speakers?Wouldn't mind if no Oomph or high pitched effects

What model have u been using?2.1?

No bass also...

What?No bass?I thought a 2.1 speakers got bass,or does that only apply for PC?

The thing is...if u plug the 2.1 speakers to ur TV, you're gonna get stereo only. You need to plug it to an AVR, then only the proper DD/DTS audio track can be decoded and split to proper channels(including bass). I told u liao...no oomph...just flat louder sound. If u plug to PC is ok, coz ur PC software will do the decoding/down mixing for u.

Do u have separate media player? Maybe another solution is for you to plug directly to ur media player, which hopefully do the DD/DTS down mixing to 2.1.
