I posted this in one of the AVS forums without much luck so I figured I would try here because I have read a lot of knowledgeable and helpful responses. During the winter I seem to come down with a bout of the upgrade virus. From reading the forums, I see I am not alone.
Got a finished basement, 40x32x8 ~ 10,000 cu ft. 90% movies. I like to watch movies fairly loud. I dont fully comprehend yet "reference" but I gather just shy of that threshold. Current setup:
. 60" LG LCD (2011 Model)
. Denon 2311CI
. LG Blu-Ray
. Xbox 360 (2010)
. Klipsch RF82ii Fronts, RC62ii Center
. Orb Audio MOD2 Surrounds
. SVS PC12-NSD
Upgrade ideas:
. Replace Orb Surrounds
. Upgrade SVS to PC13 Ultra
. Upgrade Denon to 3312CI in order to gain pre-outs
. Then buy Emotiva XPA-3 to power front/center
. Upgrade Fronts to RF7ii
. Upgrade Center to RC64ii
. What else?
Ultimately, would be great to do all of them and maybe I will over time. The question is where to start? I can probably swing $2,000 now and pace the other upgrades out over time.
So, lay it on me - how would you prioritize to get the biggest bang first? Appreciate your input - will help me through some paralysis by analysis.
