Hi,
I would really appreciate any help in this. I've done quite a bit of reading online but have come to a bit of an impasse (I don't just want to throw money at something which doesn't need it). Currently I have a 5.1 system that is a mish-mash of speakers that I've collected over the years (often for free/ very little):
AMP: Onkyo TX-NR656 (I will be keeping this)
Fronts: Tannoy 605 (I really like these but can appreciate they are old, possibly worn and unsuitable)
Center: Technics SB C500
Sub: Eltax Thunder 8
Surround: Gale 3060B
Usage: Music, Movies and Video Games.
I feel that it is probably time I upgraded and I am a little unsure what to do. The system as it is actually sounds pretty good considering nothing matches but I expect it could be a lot better and perhaps I am just used to it. At a guess, I think the center and the sub are the two biggest weak points.
I can probably spend up to £1000 but less is always better, as is retaining anything that is worth keeping.
Again, any advice/ opinions is very appreciated.
All the best,
Kev
