Honestly to me the best upgrade you can do always is front speakers. But if you want to upgrade your processor look to either the Anthem, the Rotel or the Sony ES in my opinion. I have a sony es receiver and use the pre-out to a power amp for the fronts so my 2 channel does not suffer. But again to me you always want to pick speakers first and then mate the rest of your equipment to match up with your front speakers.
Would like to upgrade to 5.1 and DTD from prologic
First of all I would like to commend this site on a wealth of information from all of the knowledgeable individuals.
I don't have a system like some of the audiofiles I've read about,but what i have in common with this type of forum is a love of clean musical sound.My system although somewhat
older is a ONKYO TX-SV919THX reciever which is about 6 years old,but it is just prologic(only 4-channels)there lies one of my problems.The speakers i use are def-tech's bp2000's for the mains,I incorporate bose 901's for the rears, my other
problem is i use the equlizer that came with the bose,and a 10 band graphic eq.through the tape monitor loop.the eq's seem to bring the clarity out when in stereo mode but when i use any surruond mode it degrades the sound terribly.The reciever has the ability to imput 5 channels via DB-25 pin connector aka.dolby surround (AC-3format).Is it possible to retain the tonal qualities of the equalization and be able to achieve a true surround image? DTS,SACD ETC.
Some of my equipment include a hi-fy vcr,dvd player and satelite reciever.I KNOW THAT I AM IN NEED OF SOME SERIOUS UPGRADES.can i find a surround processor that will get me in the ballpark or just bite the bullet and find a quality reciever for someone on a budjet. PLEASE HELP YOUR IDEAS AND OR COMMENTS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
