Hi there.
I was wondering if you might be able to help me make a decision on the direction I should be heading with my theatre.
I've got a Denon AVR-886 from a few years back that has served me well thus far but the front two channels have lost their ability to produce low range frequencies. I have a Klipsch quintet system and a Klipsch KSW-12. I'll move the quintet into the surround and surround back positions once I get the new towers. I watch movies for the majority of my usage but I do entertain often enough to want to impress with some substatial music volume.
I'm going to buy either the Polk Audio LSi 25 or LSi 15 and a LSiC speakers.
My question is whether I'm better off getting a post amp with a big power rating and use the pre-outs from my Denon until I'm ready to get into a more serious pre/processor or just dump the Denon and get a new AVR to power the new fronts.
I realize that the two options are vastly different in cost and complexity but my biggest question would have to be is a separate system worth the added cost and if I go with a separate system do I need the LSi 25's?
Thanks a lot in advance for your opinions!
