Hello everyone,
I have been getting the bug lately to upgrade my home theater setup. Over the last ten years I have basically pieced and patched the system together. This time around I am wanting my system to work well together and purchase it systematically to be get exactly what I am looking for.
Current System:
50" Samsung Plasma TV - Not sure of the model #. It is about 10 years old.
Pioneer VSX-1023
Polk TSi400 speaker series (two front speakers and the center) Here is a reference
Klipsch monitor speakers for the back two speakers
Klipsch 12" Sub.
What I am wanting:
TV:
70"+ OLED. Not sure if I want to go Sony or LG. Any opinions?
The main reason I came to this forum is to get help with ideas for a new receiver and speakers.
Receiver:
I am wanting great features. At least 7.2, but preferably 9.2. Dolby Atmos capabilities. The most important features would be sound quality and sound performance. I am wanting to throw a lot of power at the speakers.
Budget - $1,500 - $3,000
Speakers:
I am wanting great all around speakers. Great low and high freq. Most importantly is the range of the speaker in terms of db. I want the speakers to be able to get loud. I listen to music frequently on my home theater, but I also watch many movies.
Budget - $2,000 - $3,000
Sub:
Great lows and range. I just want a great overall sub. My current sub points down at the floor, so I am not sure how that changes the sound perception compared to a sub that points laterally/towards you.
Budget - $500 - $1,000
Should I look at additional amplifiers along with the receiver? To get the sound I am wanting, should I only be looking at 4 ohm equipment? If I remember correctly the most important element (in terms of sound) is the speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
