I have a home theater I have cobbled together over the years.


Now I have bought a good projector and want to make sure my audio is at least in the realm of good. I am just not sure that my stuff actually works well for Blueray and 5.1.


The speakers are Paradigms. I haver RTI8's for front speakers and Atom v.2 for rear speakers. My center speakers is a Sony CN200AV.


I have any of three receivers I could use. Sony STRDE605 or Harman/Kardon HK3380 or Pioneer VSXD514


any input/education appreciated

Welcome Peter


It's not clear if you are looking for all new speakers of a quick fix of what you have. The major flaw of your existing inventory is your Sony center channel. It should be replaced with a Paradigm center channel that is timbre matched to for front speakers. This is important because in a 5.1 system the center channel handles most of the dialog and must coordinate with your front Left and Right.


I don't see a sub so you might consider adding one.

Your receivers appear to be quite dated and something new might give you better connection options.
