I've just heard from cybebri and others that my prized cube speakers in the ceiling are complete crap and is low hanging fruit to upgrading my HT setup.
In fairness to me, the Bose cubes were mounted in the ceiling when I bought the house. I had always thought they were decent middle of the road type things, expensive because of the size and aesthetics.
But I'm happy to hear that I can improve the sound of my movies greatly by replacing them.
Any advice? I don't need power but I am willing to pay for quality. I figure I'd pay up to 3k (I'd prefer to pay less, of course) for the speakers and receiver.
From what I've heard:
Option 1: replace the Bose cubes with a better brand of satellite speakers
Option 2: Get a new sub woofer and receiver first, then new center channel and front speakers, either stand alone or book shelf or at least better satellite-types.
Can I live with the bose as rear speakers or should they be upgraded as well? Can I upgrade them with cube-sized speakers mounted from the ceiling?
What would you do for 3k (going for quality not power, movies more than music).
Thank you!!!
