Building My Home Theatre Cheap
I have never had a decent home theatre in my house and I am a big sports fan and love watching my weekly tv shows and movies. I decided to put together a home theatre. Not that I was overly surprised but I was taken back a bit by the price of the home audio equipment after visiting a few of my local electronics stores. I just dont have the money to be sinking into state of the art speakers, receiver and assorted hardware.
I realized that I already have most of the system right in my house. I have a couple of decent older floor speakers that I was going to throw away but decided to keep. I have a surround sound receiver that I thought was old and out dated but will do the trick. I just have to pick up a couple of extra speakers and a decent tv stand.
I was all over Ebay and Kijiji tonight and have already contacted a gentlemen that is selling off his home theatre that he is upgrading. We talked about a few prices and I basically going to save a ton if his equipment checks out.
I am glad I just didnt fly of the handle and drop a ton of money at a big box store. I think I am going to have a nice home theatre of matching pieces together for a great price. Its just going to take a little while to get it all together but for the price its worth it.
