Hi everyone, been reading this forum the last couple of days and I want to commend the regulars for constantly being a great source of help. Communities like this is what the net is all about.
I'm thinking about adding some sound to my apartment bedroom. It is a 19' by 15' and I share it with a fiance, so space is definitely an issue. I have a 32" Samsung LCD as well as a PS3.
I do have access to a 12 year old receiver, Onkyo TX-SV909Pro as well as a pair of JBL L7s. If anyone is familiar with the L7s, you know these beasts are huge.
With my budget being around $500-$1000, I guess my question is - should I use that old stuff and add to it or scrap it for newer gear & start from scratch? Would an HTIB like the SR800 be comparable to what I can get with the old stuff or is it comparing apples & oranges? If I do add to the old stuff, is there any component I can add to it to upgrade to some of the newer audio decoders?
