Hello there! I am looking to upgrade the speakers to my 5.1 home theater and I am looking for suggestions. Here is what I currently have.
Screen (FWIW): Toshiba 57HDX82
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V795a
Front: Infinity Reference 2000.2
Rear: Infinity Minuette
Center: JBL Center
Sub: AudioSource SW-10
The speakers were all bought in '98 I believe...without much research and a tight (ex)wife-induced budget. and I just carried them on to my new (post divorce) receiver...the Yamaha which I bought in late 2000/early 2001 I believe.
It is my opinion that my sub is the weakest link in the chain...and I am very impressed with what I have learned about SVS subwoofers. I am heavily considering the 20-39 PCi...seems like a nice balance of range and volume, though the extra attributes of the 25-31 PC plus intrigues me...and its not a heart-stopping amount more...perhaps just a minor palpitation more...if you will. My room is 15'x16.5' with standard ceilings and a half-wall to the left of the viewing area leading to the kitchen...if that matters.
Is the 25-31 PC plus model THAT much better...or necessary for my situation...or will the PCi model be adequate?
Furthermore, I think I would do well to change my front and rear setup. My thought is that I would take my 2000.2's that I have and make them my rear surround...and that would work well. However, what would you recommend to go in front now in the say...$300-$400(for a pair) price range...if it can be done in such a price range and still find a siginificant improvement?
Any and all suggestions and comments are appreciated. Thank you for your time and patience!
