Well, tonight I pulled the plug and decided to upgrade my home theater system from a Logitech Z5500 to something more. Of course, it is not complete...but it is a start.
I currently have the following:
* Samsung 50" DLP 1080P HL50A650 - http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm...m/ccd/productDetail.do
* Sony PS3 80GB (upgraded to 320gb)
* DirectTV HD
Like I said, I was using the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 THX speaker system....to be frank...it just was not cutting it.
So, Frys had a sell on the following (which I now own):
* Infiniti Primus P362 Floorstanding speakers X 2 ($99 EACH, regularly $349 each) - http://shop1.frys.com/product/...sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
* Sony STR-DG520 5.1 (Local Fry's ad showed $199, went in store and for some odd reason that had two displays of the same model but one was $149, one was $199. The sales rep sold it to me for $149 - http://shop1.frys.com/product/...sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
I got it home, hooked it up and these speaker freakin ROCK. They do lack a bit of bass (still good imho) so I might add a sub. My question is, with my Logitech Z-5500 I mounted the satellite speakers and would like to use the center channel and the rear speakers (instead of buying new). Is this a good idea? Would it be a good idea to go back to Fry's tommorrow and grab two more of the P362 Floorstanding and make them rear speaker?
If you guys suggest upgrading the center channel and the 2 rear surround speakers, what do you suggest I do? Also, what about a sub. The z5500 was "ok", but when I watch Transformers on Blu-Ray, I want to feel it.
Suggestions and opinions are greatly appreciated!
