So even after having a decent 5.1 system forever, I still have a relatively small understanding of what to look for to get some bang for my buck.
First, here's what I have:
Running the speakers/sub from this Onkyo HTIB in a 5.1 config.
Using an Onkyo TX-SR706 receiver that I just got and am still working through understanding.
My problem is I'm about to move to a house that has a less than optimal setup for 5.1 in the living room (7.1 is pretty much out of the question), so I'm thinking about upgrading my front 3 speakers. I love my subwoofer and have 0 complaints about it. Ideally my new 2 front channels would be floor standing.
Again, I really have no clue where to start. I'll gladly take any advice you gurus can suggest. My budget would be around $500 for all 3 front/center speakers.
