What direction do I take for an upgrade?

>> I am on somewhat of a budget, being in college. So I was trying to make a complete system and then upgrade gradually. I am definitely open to switching brands and appreciate the suggestion, but like I said, I am working on a budget. <<

Most of us are constrained by a budget, it's a cruel world I tell ya . The trick is to make the most of what you can spend. Keep in mind that if you replace your main speakers, you will defray the cost substantially by selling your current ones. Adding 2 subwoofers is a direct expense and not defrayed by anything...

As for the efficacy silver plated outlets, well let's just say I find that a bit of a stretch

I like Bob Reynolds advice. Get a hsu sub. I started this journey with a hk 3480 and have some experience with what you have and are trying to achieve. Several questions. Are you powering 4 speakers in one room? What is your budget? If you are pleased with the hk sound then stay away from the acurus. It is much brighter sounding. Phil Brady.

Iam powering 4 paradigm monitor 7's in one room. The only reason I had considered trading my HK for the cambridge is because the dealer said he would give me $380 for my HK on trade for the Cambridge 840A. As for the sub(s), I have heard of HSU Research sub but don't knwo much about them. As far as the paradigm subs, I had thought about only one PW-2200.

I forgot to mention my budget... The PW-2200 is about $750 and the Cambridge Integrated is about $970 after trade. Anywhere in that range would be fine. Also I am not familiar with HSU research models, any advice would help and thanks for everything so far!!!
