Okay, so while being a (wannabe) audiophile, I still have basically no experience with real home audio. My problem is thus:
I just came upon a 6.1 system made by Di Vinci for a more-than reasonable sum. However, these are just speakers and a sub. I know I need something to connect them to, soooo....what? I assume that a receiver is obligatory, and an amp could help improve, but I'm on a bit of a budget (otherwise I never would have taken the plunge to begin with). Any recommendations on what to do to connect/start building off of an 800-watt system with a center channel 4 way?
I'm looking to keep it under $600 for a rudimentary set-up just to get things working, and from there I'll build on it in time.
Also, primary uses will be for hooking up consoles, TV and computer as sources.
