HT Pre/Pro 7.2 Upgrade???
First off, he won’t be selling anything and converting to a 2 channel system. Please keep this to a 7.2 build. His budget is about $1500 but that’s max. Realistically want to be much cheaper. He’s open to change but wants it to be comparable or be...

Full Range under $5k-ish
Finally had a chance to audition some speakers on the list and eliminate a few. Here’s my updated list. I chose not to add anymore for now as I want to downsize this a bit before adding onto it. I also demoed a few not on the list and a few out of...
