Upgrading Home Audio


Hey guys, I am going to be upgrading my home audio pretty soon and was wondering what others recommended. Please give me some pros/cons of each brand.

Right now, I have a Yamaha based system but I might look at Bose or Sony.

Any thoughts? Thanks guys.

Re: Upgrading Home Audio


Welcome to the Shack!

You posted this in the Speakers forum, so are you looking specifically for speakers?

If so, what is your budget and what receiver or prepro/amp combo are you using?

Re: Upgrading Home Audio


If I were you I would look into getting separate systems rather than a theater in a box. Also, I would stay away from Bose as they do not make a high quality speaker for the price.

I would check out offerings from SVSound (especially their subs but they make a good speaker too) and av123.com for internet direct options and Paradigm or B&W for non-internet direct options.

Re: Upgrading Home Audio


The big question is what is your budget and what are you looking for?

He had Yamaha, Bose and Sony linked, so maybe he was simply spamming...

That's too funny!

We also need to know the size of your room and what you'll be listening to on it (Music, Movies, Video Games, etc.). There are some speakers out there that are good for one thing and may lack in other departments. The more info you can give us the better.


TV: Panasonic TH-42PX60
Cable: Motorola w/HDTV
DVD: Panasonic DVD-S52
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V2200
Remote: Logitech Harmony 880
Main: Axiom m80 v2
CC: Mission 77c
Surround: Bose 701
Sub: SVS PC13-Ultra
