I was hoping you guys could give me your opinion on something...
I'm thinking about upgrading my home theater and adding either a new tv or a center speaker. I currently have an old console style tv with only a vhf/uhf round plug on the back. My home theater also consists of a Pioneer receiver, a Sony DVD/VCR combo and a Yamaha subwoofer along with 2 big floor speakers for the front and 2 smaller surround speakers on the sides. I can get you the actual models of my receiver, combo and sub if needed.
My setup consists of running a cable from my video out on the vcr side of the combo to the vhf/uhf plug on the tv and my audio cables from my audio outs on the combo (vcr side) to my receiver audio ins. I also have a cable from the dvd outs on the combo to the receiver ins. My setup runs through my combo for tv audio this way.
Do you think it would be more beneficial to get a newer style tv (looking at about a 27 inch crt) that has the audio outs instead of having to run it through my vcr/dvd combo or will it make no difference sound wise? The combo, receiver and sub are only about 5 years old.
Or do you think it would be better to get a center speaker for my setup? How important is the center speaker and would it make a noticeable difference in sound quality?
I'm only looking to spend about $200-$300. I'm looking to maybe buy something on the day after Thanksgiving sales coming up. I appreciate any help. Thanks.
