Alright, this is my firt time posting on these forums, so I hope I've posted in the right place.
Well right now I have a pretty low end system and I'm slowly upgrading it. I have an Onkyo 7.1 Channel system, with the speakers that came with it, and the sub that came with it. (I told you it was low end...) I have added too it an Onkyo Ipod Dock, a McIntosh MCD7009 (Took it from my parents after they upgraded...its my nicest component), and a Rega P2 with and Iron Audio Platter, and a nice mat, and a NAD phono pre-amp. I do not have dedicated lines, but I do have 2 PS Audio outlets.
So now I am looking to upgrade...
Personally I am thinking that I should get new speakers first, however I'm not sure if the reciever I have will power them and there are no pre-outs. I am thinking of keeping my system 7.1 channel as I do use it for things other than music. I thought that buying 6 Epos M-5s, and 1 M-8 seemed like a very good option. What do you all think? Would my reciever power it (Its an Onkyo 530 Reciever (I think))?
If the reciever won't power it what can you suggest for a setup that would. I don't really care about the brand name, I just want a moderatly priced (Max $1000) reciever. Do I need amps for the speakers or will a reciever with a built in amp work.
Can somebody tell me what they think of my ideas...and PLEASE offer you own!!!
~THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH~
p.s. Any other suggestions on upgrades for my system are more than welcome!
