Question concerning new front speakers.

I am primarily concerned with improving sound quality of my system for music. I do watch movies/ play video games occasionally, but mostly I use the system for listening to LPs or other audio.

Here's what I currently have:

Pioneer VSX-1015TX amp/receiver
Klipsch Quintet 5.0 Speaker system
polk audio psw110 subwoofer

My question is: would adding tower or bookshelf speakers as front speakers negatively affect sound quality? Would a mixture of components mess up the continuity or something? I am trying to add a bit of bass/midrange that I feel my klipsch satellites are lacking while listening to music.

I am looking at the Focal Chorus 807v, the sierra 1, and the Klipsch RF 82 II.

any insight is greatly appreciated... i am fairly new to the audiophile realm, but i am eager to learn.

yeah, I was thinking that I worded that poorly. upgrading to nicer, newer stuff could never hurt.

thanks for the input

if I bought one of these sets on ebay would i still need a center speaker?

still looking at newer options... with my system should i look more for bookshelf speakers?

budget is probably around $1200. i like the looks of all the focal speakers, i just need to drive to new orleans to hear them. i have a friend who wants the 3 front quintets for $150 so theoretically my budget is $1350.

thanks for the link. should i consider b and w speakers also?

If I were to get focal Chorus 706v would the center channel on the quintets be awful for the set until I could afford the chorus center channel? Going to be $1400 for chorus 700 line L C R speakers so I may have to wait a few weeks after getting the bookshelf speakers. I will need stands and cabling so that puts me well over $900 for bookshelf speakers with cables and stands. Since I primarily listen to music on system I hope this could work. I use my kuro's soundbar for tv sound, I do not use surround.

Thanks for the link. I will follow up on those 806s. I've read the 700 and 800 chorus lines are pretty similar. Not sure which way I'm leaning.

Anyone have recommendations on speaker wire for the focals?

I found these on eBay. The seller also has a chorus 800 center channel for sale. What do you make of the price?

Yeah, I'm probably going to deal with spearit. Just trying to stretch my dollars a bit. Don't think I can afford the 800 series brand new. I doubt that "settling" for the 700 series will disappoint me.

Would spearit sound make a deal if I bought speakers and towers? By deal I mean slight discount

Planning on doing that tomorrow. Think I'm going to go with 806v most likely but am still considering the 807v. Thanks for all the help.

Reading countless threads it seems the 800 series is better constructed, which is why I chose them. Will there be significant difference between 806 and 807? More bass with the 7" woofer in the 807 but I have a mediocre sub that should cover that, right?

I ordered a pair of ebony 806vs today from spearit. Thanks again to everyone who chimed in

Is 80hz a good setting for the crossover on my receiver or should I go higher or lower?

Thanks, I thought 80hz sounded better than 50. I'm using the speakers in stereo mostly at the moment so sub isn't really coming into play
