EAX 4.0/5.0 game list

Yes your right AsRock! Sorry, just so much info and things to get into my head I am just getting so confused! I just need to take it step by step and get it right without any problems!!!

I am going to use the list you gave me and check out everything they got on ebay and hope I can find something great and cheap as possible!!

Sadly the item you showed me is out of reach for me :( Also too expensive.

How about these:

PIONEER VSX-512S DOLBY 160W
http://cgi.ebay.ie/NICE-HOME-THEATE...s?hash=item45ed617ada&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177



Sony STR-DE545 DTS Home Theatre Receiver
http://cgi.ebay.ie/Sony-STR-DE545-D...s?hash=item2ea6fd4a29&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

SONY STR-471 AUDIO VIDEO AM-FM HOME THEATER RECEIVER
http://cgi.ebay.ie/SONY-STR-471-AUD...s?hash=item27aabaf9ef&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

Are any of these good enough??

Well the Pioneer one i cannot find on their site and if i do get any hits it's for a remote for it. Maybe you or some one else would have better luck.

The SONY STR-471 looks like it's many many many years older than the other SONY.

The STR DE545 is the one i'd get out of those found a few reviews on Yahoo
http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Sony ST...ser-reviews;_ylt=Avkbyw6FaqRJbSd_HcDxNwrgSHAD

Although this is a old system it's even older than the one i own but it does say it has the optical input on it.

One other thing that bothers me is there is no remote which could make issue's like not being able to change some stuff on the unit.

Here's the manual for it
http://www.docs.sony.com/release/STRDE545.pdf

And as far as i can tell mos buttons that are on the remote are on the unit maybe with it being older (1999-2001 ish).

There is a hell load of reviews here
http://www.audioreview.com/cat/amplification/a-v-receivers/sony/str-de545-/PRD_124417_2718crx.aspx

That is the one i'd pick out of those. I don't shop or like ebay dont trust most of the people who use it lol.

And there is things like things like this that put me off
This unit is tested and operating but sold as in 'as is' condition. Returns considered on a case by case basis.

I my self would save up but thats just me :).
 
this is a game list?
 
Thanks for the info, I don't want to buy an old system! I want to buy something new enough! Something only 2-3 years old.

I suppose I better keep my eye open for more!
Why are these so expensive??? I don't understand why they are priced so high.

Now I know it is going to take a while before I find one good enough :(
 
Ah yes they look and sound great!!

But he is charging me an extra 100 USD to send it to me..it's very pricey???

I can't find anything else that is cheaper :(

WOW thats like a new price tag.... With it being big and heavy + insurance i guess.

Shame you do not have any audio shops closer to you.
 
I really should go to a store near me and check them out. Then again, I don't even know what I am looking for anyway lol.

I could ask the store owners or staff members. Maybe I might find something cheaper there. I just don't know where to go to find there Home Theatre systems!!

Look in your local shops for HIFI magazines and just read though them see if you can find local shops :). Hopefully you will find some and then put it back on the shelf LOL...
 
I guess I better keep looking :( shame.

Ok I found a store here in Waterford :)

http://www.sonycentres.ie/subcategory.asp?did=174_6_759_

I am checking out the amps and recievers, what is the real difference anyway??? I need an amp don't I ?? or a reciever???
Click to expand...

A Amp will do just 2 speakers( although you can with some plug more than 1 pair in ) were a home theater will do surround sound.

OK this is cheap, doubt it's good enough but worth a try?

http://cgi.ebay.ie/5-1-CHANNEL-HIFI...iers?hash=item518b9e77c7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14


Or since I can't find anything else, do you think I should spend 180 euros on this:
http://cgi.ebay.ie/YAMAHA-5-1-CHANN..._Box?hash=item33537112a7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

it's the only one that seems good enough but it is so damn expensive.

What do you think?

I like that YAMAHA one. Same people as last time right ?. As long as your ok buying of eBay go for it.

Your bound to pay extra for more of a quality brand with good reason too

The one that Darren postd sounds alright i do wounder why it so cheap.

I think I will go ahead and spend 180-200 euros on it. it sells for 230 USD in stores so I suppose it is a fail price to pay. It also supports a lot of features and good reviews.
I will make my final choice 2moro!

Granted long time ago i got a JVC amp sure sound came out of it be it was totally crap lol.. Was glad it was from Argos as i wanted my money bad ASAP.

But hey you might like the sound quality of them everyones different and i guess they might of gotten better over the years hehe.
 
Ahhh what a shame!!!
I am usless when it comes to this stuff!!

I just have no idea what is good and bad! I do not want to buy something and end up with someone saying they are totaly shite!!

Soon enough I will find the right one!!!! hehe!

What one person likes is not always what another like. Sound is sound to some people. And for some people it's like gaming. Like we all have our favorite games.

New models and part 2 of a game ( for example HL1 and HL2 ) you might like one and not the other. And this is why i said try going a hifi shop.

My ideal for me personally would be Kenwood and SONY but it don't mean i would like them as i would need to listen to them 1st.

Were you live sounds like a pain to get any thing from and would think about just saving up more cash to get a real nice one.. The Yamaha is a nice one but cost is the issue and i guess saving up more penny's will solve the issue :). Remember the US and UK plugs are different too :).
 
It's a real damn pain! For a good decent reciever I need at least 200 euros at the very least! I did'nt think it would cost so damn much. I still don't understand why they are priced so high.

I really don't have much of a choice when it comes down to it, Yamaha seems like the best choice. I will have to save up and just go and buy it.

I just hope that it will be worth every damn penny!
 
I just got my TANNOY Mercury F1 Custom speakers and I am wondering if I can just hook them up to my TV or anything while I wait for my Reciever?

Is there anyway at all that I can use them??
