Unless you have really high quality components (speakers and amp/receiver) I would not spend more than $100 US on a DVD player (unless you're looking for SACD or DVD-A capability).for instance a Toshiba 3960 which goes for $50 US would be more than good enough. The DVD player is where you can go cheap and barely notice the difference. For receivers I'd look at Marantz, Harman Kardon, Denon, and Pioneer/Pioneer-Elite.ģ. You can get better for the same money or just a little more. Kenwood is similar to Sony, they are big names with big advertising budgets designed to make the average uninformed consumer overlook their mediocre quality. Especially watts per channel numbers, these are often fudged big time.Ģ. Specs are often deceptive and tell only part of the story anyways-go listen, and let THAT be the bulk of your decision making process. Sorry for the long winded and newbie-like post. * Set up memory for each channel/ Input sensitivity control (Input level adjust by 3 steps) * Full Auto Digital Analogue Input Selector * Independent speaker level control adjustment * Midnight mode (Dynamic compression system in Dolby Digital mode and DTS mode) * 96kHz/24-bit audio reproduction capability * Active EQ with Cinema, Music and TV modes * Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, DTS, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIx * Stereo power output: 100W x 2 (6 ohms, DIN, 1kHz, 0.7% THD) * Stereo power output: 120W x 2 (6 ohms, 1kHz, 10% THD) * Surround power output: 100W x 5 (1-ch driven, 6 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7% THD) * Surround power output: 120W x 5 (1-ch driven, 6 ohms, 1kHz, 10% THD) Now my question is, is this Kenwood receiver good enough? Here are its specs: I found another good deal for the receiver, namely a Kenwood KRF-V 5090 receiver + a DV-F 3200 DVD for 280 euros. , and ideally I'd like it to combine nicely with the Canton standboxes in terms of sound. The price must be under 500 euros approx. My time will be equally divided between gaming/dvd watching and music, and I will buy a subwoofer, a center speaker, and two surround speakers in the near future. Now my main concern is which receiver to get. Midrange: 180 mm (7''), polypropylene membraneĭimensions (WxHxD): 23 x 102.5 x 31 cm (9.1'' x 40.4'' x 12.2'')įinishes (enclosure/front/grill): Beech/silver/silver, ash black/black/black Woofer: 2 x 200 mm (8''), polypropylene membrane The specs are as follows:Įngineering Principle: 3-way, bass reflex system I can get a very good deal for a brand new couple (400 euros), so this is a decissive factor for me. The speakers I'd like to get are the Canton LE - 109 standboxes. As per the title, I am a total Newbie and not very knowledgeable about specs either. I am thinking of getting a Receiver and a couple of standboxes nest month, and I'd like some advice as to how best to combine them.
