Hey guys! Great forum you got going here and I'm hoping I can get some help looking for a new system.
I currently have a Onkyo set up. I'm not in my room but it's a cheaper Onkyo AV 5.1 receiver with 5 speakers and a sub. I got it all together a few years ago during the holidays at a pretty good price.
Recently it's been acting a little weird. Dropping inputs randomly, Turning off, Speakers buzz once in a while. Anyway I'd like to look for a new set up.
The TV i'm using will probably be replaced soon but just to be clear for the mean time I need an AV receiver. The TV i have has very few ports on the back to hook up external speakers, hdmi outputs, etc. I will probably upgrade my TV sometime soon but I still feel an AV receiver is best.
The main complaint I have with my current system is it doesn't get that loud. Especially the rear speakers. Quality is important to me but I'm not overly concerned with it. I'd like to have a loud system with good quality but nothing extreme.
The other big kicker in my situation is that I'm a college student so I don't have that much cash to spend on it. I'm curious as what you guys would recommend me doing. Buy a new HTiB? Buy a new Receiver and speakers separately? Just buy one or the other and keep the ones i have now?
Any and all help is great!
Thanks in advance guys!
