Hello, I need some advice / experienced feedback to help me upgrade my tv sound system. I currently have a simple 2.1 sound system with my TV in my den that I've had now for almost 10 years. It's been a decent setup, but I have trouble hearing/understanding a lot of the dialogue in movies/tv shows. I would like to get a better setup to correct this. I have a dedicated sound system for music listening, this setup is only used to watch movies/tv.
My current setup:
Harmon Kardon HK3490 Stereo Receiver
Polk Audio R50 floor-standing speakers
Polk Audio PSW10 subwoofer
I have purchased a Denon AVR-X1300W AV receiver to replace the HK 3490. I am considering the following options:
1. Add a Polk CSi A4 center channel ($150) to help clear up the dialogue.
2. Purchase a pair of Elac B6 bookshelfs, C5 center channel, and a set of speaker stands ($540).
Do you think the Elac speakers would be a big enough improvement to justify the extra $400 expense? Is there a better option that I should consider?
