Hi, about 8 years ago I bought my first home theater. It included a 5-Disc DVD player, (receiver/amplifier) and 6 speakers with a sub-woofer.
Now I have a HD satellite receiver, HDTV and a PS3.
I would like some insights if it is worth upgrading my home theater.
Should I buy
1) a new receiver/amplifier only?
2) buy a whole set with new new speakers (I don't need a new DVD player since I play my DVD's on the PS3)
3)don't bother with the upgrade?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Unless the prior amp/ receiver was first class

I'd go with a new receiver first, then reevaluate the sound quality to see if new speakers are warranted

Thanks for the suggestion.
My current receiver is a Sony STR-DE695, which is not bad from what I read, but the biggest flaw is the sound quality.
I think I will start to research receivers.

STR DE 695 "so so sound quality"


Please have a look at this, Outlaw Audio, I know, they are real, and in fact quite reputable

Check here at Audiogon http://www.audiogon.com/ where you can find some high end equipment for very reasonable prices. Especially in today's economic downturn some folks are getting rid of their high priced equipment for almost nothing.
