I'm looking to upgrade my HT. I have a receiver and 2 front speakers. What's the next thing to get? (Sub / Center / etc)? I listen to about 50% music / 50% movies. But, i live in an apt... so that is a consideration for the sub.

What kind of receiver do you have?

What is important to you?

What is it that you think you are missing now?

jvc 8040-B. I think the bass is pretty decent as is for now. do you think a good center will tighten things up?

It may or it may not. Really depends on your media and equipment. If the media is recorded in stereo, a center channel will not necessarily tighten it up. But for movies that are in 5.1, it may.

The best thing is to go to a place that has a complete set-up and listen for yourself using the media you have. Try different configurations and see if it does anything for you.

You may be surprised at what you'll hear.

You will need a center, surrounds, and a sub. It does not matter what order you buy them. 2 speakers and a sub or 2 fronts 2 surrounds or 3 fronts, all these choices are good as long as you plan on eventually getting them all.

CES just debuted a 150" Plasma, would that fit in your apartment?

If not look for a reasonable 3 speaker center/surround package, you might want to stay away from the sub unless you want to get evicted?

Yes, I actually have old Bose 201 speakers that I may use for rears temporarily. I guess i'll get the center
