Hey everyone I am looking for some help in the Home audio field.

I imagine home audio is similar to car audio just higher impedances and less power.

I am looking for some home audio beginners guilds to point me in the right direction. For example what to look for, terminology, high end vs low end, brand names, expected costs and what not.

Currently I have this set of speakers, of which I am looking to buy a receiver (amp) to power them with:

specs:

-800 Watts Total System Power

-Rose Wood/Piano Lacquer Finish

-200 Watts(2X6.5") Aluminum Subs

-650 Watts(5X120) Satellite/Center -1"Polycarbonate Tweeters

Reference site:

Cost: $300

I am also looking for an opinion, comments, suggestions of the speakers I currently have,

Car audio and Home audio are only the same in that each system produces sound. The acoustics are important in both are important, and vary depending on what you are looking for in the system.

I would turn to a home audio forum for the experts in that field. I used to be a part of home theater shack. Pretty good forum, lots of experts, and only trolls/flamers when the topic generator hasn't read anything.

thanks for your input jokers10 I will give that site a look into!

is there other ones out there that are worth looking into?

and yes I will do more research on this stuff I am just trying to get pointed in the right direction. Because sure I can Google home audio and I will get a ton of results!

thanks again!

There is a Twit.tv show called Home Theater Geeks. I love almost every show from the Twit crew. You might like it as well.

For $300 you should only be looking at 2 speakers.

Agreed, but he already has them.

Ah, I read that wrong.

$300 for a receiver puts you in the used category IMO
