So I currently have M&K K7's across the front and K5's for my surround with a HSU sub (5.1 system). I have a Pioneer Elite receiver that was middle of the line a few years ago but got very good reviews here (I forget the exact model).
I was going to buy a new stand for my fronts but then I realized I'm going to need to put in at least $100 for a decent pair. So I figured I would take a look at floor standing speakers and I was happy to find that there are some great deals out there right now. So here is the short list of floor standers I'm looking at:
Energy C-500
Polk RTI8
Infinity p362
Polk Audio Monitor 50/60/70
Polk Audio RTiA5
JBL L880 Refurb
So what do you guys think? Is it worth upgrading from my current setup to any of these towers, and which ones would you recommend for my scenario? I would be keeping my existing surround, which is hopefully ok. I want to keep the cost as low as possible so I'm looking for bang for the buck but a big enough upgrade from the M&K's that it won't be money wasted. I should also mention this is 100% home theater use (movies and tv).
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
