Hi. I'm looking to upgrade my humble 5.1 system on the cheap.
I'm using some Wharfedale 9.0s (the smaller bookshelves) as fronts, some old Sony hifi speakers as rears, a repurposed Boston Acoustics sub and a (pretty poor) Yamaha centre speaker that came with the receiver. The receiver is a basic 2000s Yamaha one via optical.
My upgrade route will likely be centre -> fronts -> sub -> receiver. I'll likely be happy repurposing the 9.0s as rears long-term.
So my questions are:
1. Is this the best upgrade route?
2. If so, what would you recommend for a centre? The matching Wharfedale centres are hard to find, and seem overpriced to me. I like the look of the Qacoustics 3090C which is £80 at Richer Sounds.
Any help is hugely appreciated
