I'm just trying to figure out what upgrade option with a budget of £600-£800 would give me greater gains.
Current set-up consists of, Sony STR-DG820 with Tannoy F1/FC Custom fronts, with Tannoy EFX rears and a Tannoy EFX sub.
Option 1. Upgrade the AV receiver to something like an Onkyo TX-NR609, and replace the sub with a BK XLS200 MK2., keeping the Customs in place (to be upgraded at a future date)
Option 2. Keep the 820 in situ and upgrade the Tannoy Customs with Acoustic Energy Neo 3 V2 floorstanders and Neo V2 centre. Replace the EFX rears with the Customs. Think the EFX sub would then be removed entirely and then maybe put a BK XLS200 MK2 in place if need be.
Both of the options will eventually take place, it's just a case of which way round to do it with financial constraints.
Wondering also if it may be beneficial to pop into Peter Tysons and get a demo of an Onkyo with Tannoy V1 speakers and a Sony AV with the Neo's to see which option sounds better. Not perfect obviously, but closest demo scenario to my situation.
Appreciate people thoughts and pointers on any pitfalls or issues I have missed.
Thanks.
