Factory Refurbished Epson 8500UB - $1100 Factory Refurbished Denon AVR-1712 - $250 2 Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Bookshelf Speakers - $75 Each 1 Pioneer SP-C22 Center Channel Speaker - $100 1 Pioneer SW-8MK2 Subwoofer - $100 105" High Contrast Acoustically Transparent Screen - $200 (Self Built - TIP: Build your own screen, you can get SUPERB quality for great value!) So for all the base components it ran me $1900, out of pocket I paid $1100 after selling my old Sony 40" HDTV and Sony HTIB. Being an enormous fan of movies and videogames I don't regret the purchase one bit! The projector quality is fantastic, superb black levels, great contrast, and extremely crisp picture quality, and as a bonus it has lens shift! And I didn't think twice on buying a refurb as it comes with a full 2 year warranty and a full 2 year bulb replacement straight from Epson. I figure by the time the warranty is up I'll be able to invest in a nice LED Projector as prices should have come down, then I won't have to worry about the cost of bulb replacements. And on top of that, the sound quality is awesome as well and the value is unbeatable! Highly recommend that line of Pioneer Speakers, Andrew Jones designed, you'd have to look around the $2000 pricerange for the next best set you can get, and I absolutely adore my Denon Receiver as well. IMO if you have the capability and space in your home, I feel like everyone should have this kind of setup, especially if you're passionate about your home entertainment. |
That is a very nice setup...Id say its a solid midrange projector setup since 8500UB is quite excellent.
And your price includes surround sound setup which one would have to get if they were using a regular TV if they want an immersive experience. So essentially, 1300 dollars got you an awesome 105 inch screen projector setup with all bells and whistles that one can ask for. Thats less than a 70 inch Sharp LCD which has ghosting, slow pixel response time, fake 120 hz interpolation to hide the bad response time...
