OK I know I might get hated on for this thread. I couldn't even really find a place to post it, but perhaps you guys can give me some help.
I am finishing college and just started renting my own studio in downtown Manhattan. It's small, but the rent is pretty cheap!
I'm in the market for 2 things right now.
1. For my personal enjoyment I am going to order some mid-range Grados. I already own the SR60's and I love them so I will look into ordering a better set of Grados with an amp. This decision is set in stone
2. This is the part I know many of you won't like. Similiar to the Bose 3.2.1 system I want something for around $300 that can create a surround sound experience from just a 2.1 setup. The Bose is far too expensive for me and like I said I am just a student. This setup is mainly necessary because I have a small place and no room for the 5.1. I also don't want wiring all over the place and don't want to start mounting anything on walls. A simple 2.1 setup for me and a few friends to enjoy a good movie or a ball game. Right now I'm just using my TV's speaker and wanted to upgrade that. I know cheaper 3D systems have to exist since Bose is usually a bit pricier so I was wondering if there's anything in my range or if I should give up the quest right now. REMEMBER this isn't for audiophile sound, just something fairly decent that can SOMEWHAT give me surround sound.
