blowndc Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi, I'm pretty new to this forum and high end stereo equipment. This forum has been very helpful. I've been building my first real HT system. I had a Bose Acoustimass system for years and decided to get rid of it and step up. My system has been a budget build and I've been piecing it together. So far My system consist of: RF-82s Fronts RC-3 Center SVS PC-12 Plus Subwoofer Yamaha DSP-A1 I got the RF-82 and RC-3 barely used and not broken in yet for $425 I got the SVS PC-12 Plus for $420 The Yamaha DSP-A1 was given to me a few years ago to power the Bose speakers. It's a great reciever, the sound quality is great. However it's old technology now. My current room set up is not optimal, as my TV and speaks are in a corner of the room. However, I'll be purchasing a new house within the next year and will be particular about an entertainment room layout. My question is what would be more of a benefit to me or what will I notice the most result with? Upgrading the Yamaha DSP-A1 to a newer receiver, or getting some Klipsch RC42 or RC52 for surround speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 3, 2012 My guess surround speakers, glad you got rid of the Acoustimess. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowndc Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Oh the really funny thing is. When I had the Bose Acoustimass system, I thought it was nice that the sub would make picture frames rattle a little on wall. Once I hooked up the SVS. I felt earthquakes! Can't believe I use to think Bose was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vital Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first system! It's an awesome hobby that never ends! I think I would go with surrounds and then work on a new AVR or pre/pro after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TV room gets the most workout of any of my systems and I have a (guessing) 10 year Yamaha 5.1 AVR on it. It still sounds great and I am not taxing what it is able to do. That is, short of getting a new house.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
