Here's what I've got and want, and envision. What should I buy?
Have:
* Event Systems 20/20 bas (2)
* Pioneer Minuet M8 (2)
* Samsung HDTV (NOT a Smart TV), Excellent Home WiFi, Macbook Pro (2013), Samsung Galaxy S3 Phone (which I'll eventually upgrade)
Want:
* Integrated AV system for everything from sports and movies and from pop music to jazz (both NY and New Orleans styles), rock, occasional metal, and occasional dance music.
* Leverage existing speaker pairs, given as gifts, but leave room for replacing these down the road with a fully integrated brand new, reasonably high-end speaker system
* Prefer WiFi, AirPlay, Bluetooth, 4K w/upscaling, HDMI Ports, non-advanced configuration
I'd say my knowledge level is low relative to the audiophiles I know, but I can figure out the technical side if I need to and actually have a pretty good ear for subtleties in music (though surely no better than a hardcore audiophile, and probably worse, just not bad or anything like that).
I feel like I kind of should be buying two separate 2.1 systems, but I figured i'd check about integrating the two speaker pairs I already have into one system. I don't a specific budget, but I'd prefer something in the range of $149-$499 and am okay if it is used / refurbished as long as it's an authorized brand dealer (with proof of being so) and as long as I know it's a brand that does top-notch refurbishings that they stand behind. That said, I'm not likely to use a warranty/customer service so need a brand that is likely working right out of the box.
So, what should I buy?
