Greetings,
I've had my current speakers for going on 7 years now, and when the kids were younger they popped the dust caps off of several of the woofers/mids on the towers and center. The speakers all still function, but after finding out the driver replacement cost, it got me to thinking about upgrading everything.
I'm currently running a 7.1 set up with; Paradigm Monitor 9 v.6 Towers, Paradigm CC-290 v.5 center, and Paradigm Monitor Surround 1 v.7 for surround and rear speakers and a HSU VTF-15H mk1 sub all connected to a Yamaha RX-A850. Primary use is watching movies and TV, but possibly adding a console in the near future now that the kids are getting older. Set up is located in the "family" room in the basement, which is 23ft wide x 24ft deep and 8ft ceilings and is open to the hallway to basement rooms as well as the stairwell to the main floor.
I don't have a budget set right now, but am looking for the "next" step up from what I currently have and definitely don't mind spending a bit more for something that is a considerable upgrade. I likely won't do any Atmos since the basement isn't set up for ceiling speakers, so unless it's truly worth it, I'll look at that for our next house (few years away), I had also planned on adding a second sub as well.
Thanks in advance.
