You recommend Sony, but what about Yamaha and Pioneer.

Years prior before I stopped keeping up I read that Yamaha had the best sounding DAC, or are they all on par at this price range so just get the cheapest one? :jbhmm:

Yeah, I just help with bills where need be and I pocket 95% of my salary.

I have no car or big utility bills and my biggest expense is my travel card for work (which isn't much).

I'm trying to learn the stock market to invest and help with my savings but that shyt's mad intimidating and complicated fukk it.:whoo::hubie:
Pioneer is decent. I had one of their systems for a long time and really liked it. When it was time to upgrade to HDMI 2.1 I went with Sony.
I believe Pioneer today is more along the lines of a budget friendly brand in comparison to that Klipsch set up or even the Sony one.

Far as the saving goes, you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders. :ehh:I wish you the best. God bless you. :SNAKESALUTE:

I got a 70in that I don't even use for gaming or watching TV on anymore brehs.

My mancave isn't even a mancave any longer, I've converted it to a photography studio. Got a 7.1 surround system down there too and I only use it to play music when I'm with a client or when I'm cleaning up down there or cutting my hair in the bathroom

I'm going through a reimagining of the mancave. I've placed almost everything on the table in regards to replacement and this will likely be a bigger upgrade than I anticipated. Upgrading the audio equipment, new shelving for games and entertainment system to accommodate the new consoles is becoming a must since I'm going to continue to display my older consoles. Television is off limits till it croaks per Mrs. Iceberg.

I'm with you on the photography studio, but letting the 70in collect dust :ufdup:. Did you setup elsewhere in the crib for home theater?

Just picked up a PS3 Slim 160GB, I had one before and sold it. I actually missed it and having a system to play. My plan is to get a Xbox 1X in a few months and add that to the theater as well.
