Well, we're getting there.
UPS came today, but could not leave my receiver without a signature. So I called them up and will pick it up from UPS tomorrow rather than having them try and re-deliver. I will be off from 12-5 to take delivery of my tv and tv stand, but UPS said they would deliver between 11 and 2 (they came at 11:34 today).
So I'll be picking that up tomorrow and receiving my TV and stand. That would appear to be everything except the HD-A2 HD-DVD player, but that isn't even out yet, so I have to wait on it...should be shipping to distributors the week of December 11th.
I also ordered the item linked below today. Read really good reviews of the PureAV line and the prices have dramatically dropped since they were released. And while we don't have problems with surges or unclean power, you can never be too cautious, and well...it looks cool.
So that would appear to be it, but NO! Why upgrade everything in a home theater and leave the speakers that cost less than any other piece of equipment in my new home theater? They were part of a home theater in a box by Onkyo - receiver and 5.1 surround sound system. They served me well, but the whole package was less than $200. Assume the receiver is half of that and the speakers are half...well, I spent more than $100 on cables for the new home theater. Speakers that are less than $100?
Since it's the season of giving, I'm probably going to give myself another present and buy a set of Home Theater Direct Level TWO or THREE speakers. The price difference between the two isn't small, but it isn't huge either, so why go with the cheaper speakers when I could get the best HTD offers for a little more? The difference between the two series is noticeable I've heard, and even though my home theater isn't huge, the speakers will last years, so I'm not going to skimp. It'll probably be a paycheck or two though before I can order...I'm going to see if I can sneak the center and towers in first though and then add the rear surrounds and subwoofer at a later date.
