ok, i've asked this question on other forums and gotten lots of responses, just curious what the consensus here will be.my current setup is an AVR- Onkyo TX-SR508Speakers- Infinity TSS- 450i have a Samsung 720P Plasma for a TV and a Sony BDP-S580 for Blu-Ray.i'm thinking really hard about upgrading my speaker setup, the specs on the Infinitys are as follows.Satellite Frequency Range 150Hz – 20,000Hz (+/–3db) Recommended Power Amplifier Range 10 – 100 watts Sensitivity 86dB Nominal Impedance 8 ohms Crossover Frequency 7000Hz, 24dB/octave Midrange Driver 2-1/2", magnetically shielded High-Frequency Driver 1/2", magnetically shielded Dimensions(H x W x D) 5" x 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" (127mm x 88mm x 88mm) Weight 1.2 lb (0.5kg) Center Channel Frequency Range 150Hz – 20,000Hz (+/–3dB) Recommended Power Amplifier Range 10 – 100 watts Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1m) 87dB Nominal Impedance 8 ohms Crossover Frequency 7000Hz, 24dB/octave Midrange Driver Dual 2-1/2", magnetically shielded High-Frequency Driver 1/2", magnetically shielded Dimensions(H x W x D) 4-1/8" x 9-1/4" x 4-3/8" (105mm x 235mm x 111mm) Weight 1.9 lb (2.0kg) Subwoofer Frequency Range 39Hz – 150Hz (+/–3dB) Amplifier Power Output 100 watts RMS Low-Frequency Driver 8" Crossover Frequency 50Hz - 150Hz, 24dB/octavecontinuously variable Dimensions(H x W x D) 16-1/4" x 10-1/4" x 15-1/2" (413mm x 262mm x 394mm) Weight 28.3 lb my budget is $350 max and my question is this...i've looked at ALL kinds of setups online as i live in an extremely rural with the closest audio shop being 70+ miles away from me.I have been leaning HARD towards the Fluance AVHTB and a pair of AV bi-pole surrounds to finish out the 7.1 setup. i like the 30 day guarantee and the lifetime warranty but, of course, have never seen a set in person and, the reviews are all glowing but i'm wondering if they will be a sgnificant upgrade over my current setup.i've also thought of going the Pioneer AJ route and replacing my LRC and utilizing my infinity satelites for surrounds, they are silver and would clash cosmetically.i've looked at buying a Dayton audio complete 7.1 setup with 4" drivers.i've also thought about buying 4 pairs of Dayton B652 bookshelf speakers and using them for everything, i would replace the tweeters of course.i've looked at Jamo, ML, Pure Acoustics... i'm so completely confused on which route to go and if i should really even bother in the first place...i should note that, for the time being, i will use my infinity sub with a new setup...thanks so much for your replies and patience...
