New guy checking in asking the same ole' question you have heard a thousand times before. Please have mercy. I have browsed and searched the forum but I am soliciiting opinions specific to my situation below.
I have an older Bose Acoustimas cube surround sound set up with 3 double cubes up front, the un-powered bass module and 2 of the older Bose surrounds out back. The room in question is a bonus room above a garage that is roughly 19x19 or so. To my left is a large picture window.
The rest of the system is as follows.
Onkyo TX-SR601 Receiver 85W X Channel 6.1.
Velodyne 12 inch sub.
TV, DVD, Etc. Etc.
I am thinking about several routes at the moment. The goal is to get better sound then the Bose, have excellent long term reliability and generally be a nice well matched system. Primarily the system will be used for DVDS and TV. I do want to upgrade my music playing sound, hence going with a set of towers in front.
1)Ordering the following Infinity setup.
-2 Primus 360s up front.
-1 Primus C25 Center
-3 Primus 150s out back.
2)Just going with an Onkyo HTS790 HTIB.
3)
-2 Infinity Beta 40s
-1 Infinity C25 Center
Keeping the Bose surrounds.
What would sound the best, what makes the most sense? About the highest I want to spend is in the neighborhood of $700 or so.
