[net.audio] Advice requested on receiver/speakers

chris@hound.UUCP (C.FLORES) (03/14/85)

I am in the market for a new sound system. I first plan to
invest in a receiver and speakers, then tuntable and cassette
deck, and finally CD. (I need the turntable for my current
record collection and for music not yet on CD.)

I have the following tentative choices for receiver and speakers.

Receiver: Onkyo TX-36  (280/-)
Speakers: Polk 7C      (420/-)

I have the following questions for you experts.
 
(i)   What are your experiences with the above components - both
      objective and subjective?
(ii)  Are the prices reasonable? Are they cheaper eleswhere?
(iii) Would you recommend any alternatives in the same price
      ranges?
 
Please reply by mail (...ucbvax!ihnss!houxi!hound!chris).
Thanking you in advance.
Christopher Flores.
