Hi everybody,
I am new to the forum and have not much understanding about sound systems or what to buy, a typical consumer. I was originally shopping around and stumbled upon the range of BOSE Lifestyle systems that they have on sale, specifically the 535. After reading a few of the threads on the overall quality and bang for the buck that Bose offers, i am very grateful that i found this website!
So im looking for a surround sound system and i have roughly $3000 to spend. Here are my specs:
*The room size this will be placed in is about 2.7m by 3.7m by 2.8m high.
*A 5.1 setup will probably do, but if anybody thinks 7.1 is necessary than i am interested in hearing the feedback for that also.
*I am interested in total sound immersion, i wanna feel like the music is cutting through my body. This is key, i wanna feel like i am one with the music, like i am merged with it.
*I am interested in high-end gear and wanna know what i can get for the price above, i can go higher a little or lower if i can find the right gear that will do the job
*I will be mostly listening to music, but i also want this setup to be good for movies.
*Clarity of music and base is really important, i am interested in crystal clarity and deep but clean bass, if that makes sense.
*Ease of use is really important to me, which is what attracted me to the BOSE system, it looked like a plug and play style system that required no learning or screwing around, but im willing to compromise on this also if the audio is top notch.
I am a major newbie when it comes to audio systems, have never purchased anything other than a portable logitech speaker system. Since my interest has grown i have learned a little bit about sennheiser and AKG but from what ive seen i dont think they do the kind of system that im after. But my growing interest in good quality sound has led me here, so i am hoping that somebody with more experience can guide me to a surround sound system that is within my requirements and price range.
Thank you in advance for all the help, very grateful for this community of knowledgable sound folk!
