im 20, and as a child i never once say a theater system, and we didn't own a DVD player till i got a job and could afford something over then Nintendo (xbox 360) i just purchased my first 5.1 system for 600 dollars and i tought i was really treating myself. 6,000 DOLLARS FOR A 5.1!! system. i know this has got to sound amazing BUT DAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN. engadget you could def send these to me and let me try them out. really. please? pretty? super? please?
I actually have about a $3000 Paradigm HT system but the key is, I didn't buy it all at once. I might have gotten a better price overall if I had but I just wasn't prepared to plop down all that money at once. So I started off with the 2 fronts and the center channel, then bought the subwoofer, and I actually just got the surround speakers in the mail today.
Was I missing out by not buying them all at once? Sure, but I can sleep better knowing that I didn't have to dip into my savings, etc in order to buy them. I loved the front three speakers by themselves, love them with the subwoofer, so now I can't wait to set them up with the surrounds.
If you like audio then a more expensive speaker system is probably worth it.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
