Hi all you experts out there! I have been piecing my set up together for a couple years now here and there and im getting the itch to upgrade. However im not sure what would make the biggest impact, heck im not sure what a logical chronological upgrade path would be given my current gear. Any feedback, product advice, and suggestions on what i should upgrade first would be extremely helpful. Below are the details of my current set up. Room is open style and 20x28ft with 8ft ceilings. Below are a couple pictures of my current sitch Gear: Vava Chroma 4k HDR UST projector 120" Ambient light rejecting screen Marantz 6015 A/V Receiver Nvidia Shield for streaming R-820F Floorstanding Speakers (Front L&R) RP-500C Center Channel Speaker RP-600M Bookshelf Speakers (Side Surrounds) RP-500SA Front Height Speakers R-100SW Subwoofer Based on my set up, here are the items and upgrade path that ive put together. Please let me know if there is anything you would add or change that makes sense. 1. Add External Amplification (3 or 5 channel Emotiva amplifier.. Should i go BasX or a higher end model if my first question) 2. Replace Subwoofer (Looking at SVS-PB2000 Pro, any other recommendations welcome!!!) 3. Upgrade center Channel speaker (looking at RP-504c) 3. Upgrade Front L&R Channels to RP line or even Heritage (Forte IV or Heresy) if possible (mainly for 2 channel music) 4. Add rear atmos in ceiling speakers to compliment the front heights Would it make sense to upgrade my front L&R speakers first to align with the rest of the RP line? I have been getting into more 2 channel music listening lately. Also could move the RP-600Ms up front if that is suggested. Thanks all you kind people!!!

Hi everyone, Do you think it would be ok if I put the floor standing R820F speakers on top of my entertainment center on the left and right of my screen? Or would it make more sense to replace them with a smaller bookshelf style speaker? I actually already have a pair of RP-600Ms that im using for my rear surrounds at the moment. Issue being is that there is not enough room on both sides of the entertainment center to have them far enough back, and generally for aesthetics. Any other suggestions please let me know.

Hi All, New to the forums here and wondering if I could get some advice. Just started putting together my home theater and purchasing speakers as I go. What does this group think I should upgrade or add first, not looking for top of the line, but decent mid-range set up for the basement. Floor plan is pretty open (about 20' x 28') with the theater contained one side. Ultimate goal is a 7.2.4 set up, however the receiver market is pretty rough, so I know ill be looking to replace that eventually. Below are the details of my current set up.
