My Jayco Seneca's came with a Samsung DVD home theater system that has worked reasonably well for the last four years, with the exception of the cheap speakers. I started looking at alternative speakers and quickly discovered that to get any reasonable fidelity on a 5.1 surround system, you could get a complete HTIB (Home Theater In Box) for about the same money. So armed with this reality, I'm off to the internet to find the best system on a limited budget
After much research and reading a lot of reviews, the Samsung HTBD-1250 seemed to be the one. It has a beautiful case that fits nicely in the current 17"w x 4"h opening and sports a Blu-ray player that upscales DVD's to near Blu-ray quality. It also plays CD's & MP3's, has an iPod/iPhone cradle, an FM tuner, a quality amplifier, and 5 small, but sonically superior speakers. Did I mention the sub woofer?
So what did I do today, I took my eBay delivery to the coach, and out with the old and in with the new. Now we have the best of both worlds while traveling around this beautiful country...the joys of nature during the day, and a great movie or the sweet sound of music at night. Being retired isn't all bad. :)
Man, I'm feeling VERY envious of you right now, as I sit at work...about 12 years until I hit your stride....
