System edited: Now that I have better room response and acoustics I still hope to get new speakers someday, and also would like to get a quality DVD/CD player soon.
hey Chad,hope you can get your new speakers soon,a friend has a huge pair of VMPS ,not sure of the model,but they sound very good,they do need plenty of breathing room,
I certainly know what it is like to be on a budget and waiting years for the perfect opportunity to upgrade. Being on a strict budget does keep you very careful about your choices. You look like you've made some very sound choices in your gear. Speaker matching is a bit oversold in my opinion. Part of a good surround processor's job is to try to integrate the speakers into a synergistic whole. Just make sure you calibrate your levels very carefully and you will be quite satisfied.
With a website like this at our finger tips it's a little intimidating at times viewing systems from, and reading about other members latest state of the art equipment shopping spree. That is hard to overlook, but, at the same time it allows a buy in and trade up strategy on the used market at well.
Great system that is no doubt very enjoyable. After all thats what this stuff is all about relaxing at the end of the day and enjoying some great music, no matter how much money is tied up in this crazy hobby.
