Hey guys,
I'm new here and new to the home theater world. About two years ago I bought 2x VF-36 (floor standing speakers), 2x KB-15 (bookshelf), 2x KS-14 (bookshelf),1x VC-25 (center speaker), and the SW-450 subwoofer. My receiver is a Yamaha RX-V673: http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-RX-V673-7-2-Channel-Network-Receiver/dp/B007JF85WE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391001280&sr=8-1&keywords=yamaha+rx . I have a rather large room (30x20 with 12ft ceilings) This setup sounds great, but I find the subwoofer lacking when I want to listen to music at higher levels. Woofer sounds great for movies though. I also feel the receiver doesn't push as much power when I'm looking to crank the tunes. I've been thinking about adding this subwoofer: http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-SW-310-Powered-Subwoofer-Each/dp/B0045CJ7QW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1391001530&sr=8-10&keywords=klipsch+subwoofer . I've also been thinking about upgrading my receiver to the new Marantz: http://www.amazon.com/Marantz-SR7008-9-2-Channel-Networking-Receiver/dp/B00CS4X8S2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391001608&sr=8-1&keywords=marantz+sr7008 .
I've been trying to read as much as possible, but still not sure if I should upgrade my receiver? I can afford the receiver, so that isn't an issue . . . I just don't want to buy something that won't improve my system. I only use this system for movies/sports games/music - no video games. Just wondering if any of you were familiar with any of these products and if they will be worth it?
Thanks!
