Hi,
Looks like my window to upgrade is here and I'll soon be saying goodbye to my trusty but less than stellar KLH/Atlantic Technology/Sony sub and speaker combo. I told my wife I could do this for about $1500 for speakers and sub, and another $1200 or so for a receiver. Our theater room is 12'x25'; carpeted, with a hallway leading to the garage door and a stairwell opening leading up both at the front of the room. Because of the tight space up front I want to go with bookshelves on stands. Listening is 70/30, movies to mostly jazz music. From reading, my leading candidates are the SVS SBS-01 system or a set of Athena Auditions. Sub choices are the SVS PB12-NSD or the Outlaw LFM-1. The receiver will change from an older 60w Yamaha 5.1 to the 7.1 RX-V2600.
Any opinions? I wasn't sure the PB10-NSD could cover that space, but all the reviews seem to say otherwise
