what to address first


I have Theta Casablanca II,standard DACs,Theata Dreadnaught 5x225 amp,aerial acoustic 10T,CC5,5B rears,SW12 woofer,Nordost wiring. Should I upgrade blanca to III,add superior DAC or replace with Meridian processor. Upgrade 10 to 20T and ultimately get monoblocks or replace with Meridian 7000? I heard Dynaudio Temptations that were great. Will 20T be as good for home theatre? thanks!ken

Ken,

You have very nice equipment as is. I would stick with the Arials, unless you want to swap out all your speakers for a different brand. You could go to a 6 or 7 channel system if you have the room for it.

In general home theater sound distribution is:

50% center channel
40% L/R channels
10% Surround

You might get more improvment/$$$ in your system by working with acoustics at this point.
I agree with the power conditioning suggestion. You can improve the audio and video with this as well.
