Nocturnal transmissions
Thinking of adding Home Theater/surround to another room.
I've got the amplification, I've got the speakers, I've got the subwoofer.
I've a DVD player, but it doesn't have the processor built in.
I've seen both Onkyo and Cambridge Audio DVD players with built-in DTS and Dolby decoding, so I could use that.
Or I could go ahead and buy a processor.
I use an Onkyo 6-dvd changer in one room, with an Onkyo HT receiver, and enjoy it, though the 6-dvd changers prove problematic (I'm on my 3rd in 3, 3 1/2 years).
The HT receiver unit is cheap enough at around $300, and a nice Marantz unit would cost $450, while the Cambridge Audio and the Onkyo DVD player with the decoding built in are also around $450.
So my budget would be $450 tops. And used is all-right. The Cambridge Audio DVD player can sometimes be had for much cheaper through a B-stock place I know.
But what about processors? I really like the DTS, and Dolby Digital, so it cannot be an antiquated unit.
