I have a 11' by 11' room which I use as both home office and home theatre. My computer sends out audio to a $500 DAC and then to a pair of BX5a speakers, I have a 27'' monitor. I want to upgrade the audio but I am not sure which path I should take. My budget is $700-900, there is no space for 5.1 setup so I will limit my choices to 2.0/2.1.
1. Upgrade to Adam F7. I am fine without a subwoofer.
2. Upgrade to Paradigm Millenia CT, but then I won't be able to use the DAC anymore as I will feed digital signal from PC directly to the speakers.
3. Upgrade to Paradigm Soundtrack (is this still one of the best at $800 range? I have been looking at the YSP-2200 too.), again I won't be using DAC since it feeds digital signal directly from the PC.
I used to spend more time on music than movies, but recently it's almost all movies. Which setup would provide the best listening experience for me? Thanks!
