Home entertainment upgrades
Posted by creining | Filed under Uncategorized
I recently bought an Onkyo TX-SR601 receiver and a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors. These components sound absolutely awesome together (especially considering I was replacing a Sony compact stereo system I’ve had for 6 years). I’m planning on building out a complete home theater system by adding a Paradigm center channel (CC-370) , a couple Paradigm rear surrounds (Atoms), and a Paradigm subwoofer (PDR-12). Also on the home entertainment frontier, I recently subscribed to Netflix which absolutely rocks for DVD rental. For music, I’ve been utilizing the local library as it is conveniently just a few blocks from my apartment. The area library system (7 counties total) has a decent web-based interface for the entire library catalog that allows me to search for and request CDs which will be shipped to my preferred pickup library and held. The library system used to have a telnet interface (which was pretty neat!) to the catalog but according to this FAQ entry it is being discontinued.
