Hi all. Been a while since I posted anything but my girlfriend and I have recently purchased a home and I am now trying to optimize my setup (as we plan on being here for a while). I have a couple questions about how I should be researching what to get. We are using a 3.1 setup for movie and tv watching and I would like to have a good 2.1 setup for music listening. My system is currently:
Focal 806v for mains
Klipsch C-20 center speaker
Boston 12" downfiring woofer (can't remember the model # at this time)
Yamaha RX-V495 (I know, I know
)
So basically with this setup, I understand that I should first get a new receiver to better power my speakers and offer better options for 2.1 listening (currently my receiver offers none). I am confused on what I should be looking for in a receiver besides making sure it offers Audyessy and has enough power to run the speakers. Thoughts?
Secondly, I know that I should have the mains and center better matched and was wondering if there was a way to determine this besides just going with a center from the same manufacturer or identical speaker.
These should help me start researching/auditioning so thank you very much for your responses.
