Good Morning,
It may be time for my 805S to go. My new home has a significantly larger family room with ceilings that are 16 ft. tall. The room is also twice as big as the room in my former home. As you can imagine, the 805S are having difficulty providing enough sound for the space. My current system consists of the following:
805S - front
htm3S - center
ASW825 - sub
CCM80 - rear
Pioneer Elite 74txvi
Pioneer Elite DV-45A
Technics SL-1210MK5
APC J10 Power Conditioner / Battery Backup
Samsung 61 LED DLP
My thoughts for the upgrade path are as follows:
A: Sell the 805S and purchase 803S - 803's will match my center and should provide a significant improvement in sound. Expensive upgrade as I'll also need to purchase an amp for these speakers...most likely the MC352.
B: Keep the 805S and purchase a 2nd ASW825 - Cheaper upgrade path but may not provide the headroom I'm looking for.
C: Move the 805S to the rear for surround use and purchase 803S - route would require me waiting for amp purchase. 805S may be a bit overkill for rear speakers IMO.
A, B, or C thoughts? Comments? Is there a different upgrade path that I may be overlooking? I'm 40% HT and 60% music. Thank you all in advance,
