Now I get to go audio shopping. Oh yeah. Wait a minute, I'm broke! Well not totally, can anybody reccomend an inexpensive powered speaker system. I've been kind of looking around lately and so much is surround sound stuff that I'm just not into. I just want something in the 1 to 2 hundred dollar range that will do the job. I'm using a pair of Edirol powered speakers in my bedroom that sound great, but I'm not sure I wan't two pair of those, besides those are more studio monitors (near field) than I would like for the living room.
One to two hundred dollars gets you some killer stuff from the same era as your HK380i. I personally prefer the two generations of HK gear that came before yours. You can get HK330, 430, 730 for 50-150 bucks relatively easily. Heck, if you're patient Marantz gear can appear in your life for similar prices. My dad actually had the exact same thing happen to the exact same amp and went backward to a HK430 and is very happy. I run an HK730 downstairs and a Marantz 2245 upstairs. Nothing you can buy now for $1-200 will last anywhere near 30 years or sound nearly as good.
