I currently have the Onkyo HT-S6200 and am planning a gradual replacement of everything. Sadly I had to start with the receiver (old one died and 3-4 weeks is too long to wait for repairs) and went with an Onkyo TX-SR806.
I don't have a ton to spend on speakers, probably $250/mo I can dedicate to putting something decent together. I was looking at going with the Infinity Primus P362's right now to replace the L/R speakers. Then I was going to grab the PC350 next month, and then gradually replace the SL/SR BL/BR with the 162's, and grab a sub as the last item.
I know I could wait a while and possibly build something a bit nicer, but I also plan on gradually replacing the new system I'll build with something better and move it from my living room to my gaming room
.
Now, the biggest questions I have other than speaker choice (any other 7 speaker setups costing around $1,000 - $1,500) is how the current speakers would work with the Infinity's. If I do just replace the L/R speakers to start, will they drown out the Onkyo center and make everything sound horrible? Any input would be very helpful, I currently have around $400 left to spend right now since the new receiver took a decent chunk out of my speaker fund.
