I recently got a great deal on a Onkyo HT-RC160 and am looking for new speakers. The speakers I currently have are from a 12 year old Aiwa 5.1 bookshelf system, so at this point pretty much anything should be an improvement.
I am not worried about replacing the surround at this point. My budget range is between $500 and $700. I recently saw what appeared to be a decent center channel on Amazon (Sony SS-CN5000 Dual 5.25" Center Channel Speaker). I did look at the the sticky above and noticed it recommended against a center channel speaker and instead suggested using a 3rd front. I also noticed the date was three years ago, so I was wondering if the center channel tech has come to the point where they are better to have now.
I am undecided between floorstanding and bookshelf speakers (have bookshelf now, but could easily have room for floorstanding). I also do not have a working sub at this point.
The three major things the entertainment system is used for is TV, Gaming, and Movies. I am here to humbly seek advice on how to proceed. I am fairly flexible and open at this point to all idea’s. If I can replace the front three and have enough left for a small $150 sub, great, if not I am not too worried.
Thoughts and advice on how to proceed?
Oh and for what it is worth the living room is fairly large with a vaulted ceiling as well as a half wall seperating the kitchen.
Help!
