Alright guys.
I am still a proud owner of the all in one 5.1 Digitheatre by Pure (formally Videologic) and find them to be great for my room. However, I think i've been living in the past. I have been led to believe that the sound of the Digitheatre is well and truly outdated (and they didn't just mean because it can't decode lossless formats) and that I need a change. Well, as much as I like the Digitheatre, I do feel as though I need to upgrade to a proper sound system.
I will looking to buy what you people call a 'receiver' in August, and the month after that, I will be buying a speaker set of Wharedales DX-1. The receiver in question is the Sony STR-D1040. I will be hooking it up to my PS3 as that's the device of which I use EVERYTHING on, but mostly use it for blu rays and music.
Anyways...long story short, I have been led to believe that my room size may play a factor in 5.1 i.e. that because my room is soo small, I may not get much sound improvements with this supposedly significant upgrade.
My room is 10x8, i've got my 40 inch TV and a double bed that takes up the majority of the space. Theres some furniture I can get rid of the give me some extra room, but my main concern is SOUND. My room is almost square shaped. I know that my room is definitely too small to take advantage of 7.1, but I really want to know if it's actually worth upgrading since I can ONLY put it in my bedroom due to the fact that I have a flatmate and no living room.
Should I upgrade or is the size of my small room going to give it too many limitations to justify the upgrade??
Sincerely,
The Prestige.
