[QUOTE="PaganMcLoud, post: 865331, member: 17169"] You didn't mention the model of Pioneer speakers you have, but Im assuming they're from a 5.1 system, so more "satellites" than speakers. I would make use of them, so get yourself a nice cheaper AVR. Even dolby digital/dts should be sufficient for your purpose, and those you can pick up for a song. In this situation I would actually spend the larger portion of my budget on the sub, so go with a quality 10" there, and you'll be sorted. Check the classifieds for bargains on both sub and receiver. The overall sound wont be fantastic with those Pioneer satellites but it will be more than sufficient in a complex setting. Also, 5.1 surround's "perceived" loudness is not like "actual" loudness. In other words, you can turn it up a little more without bothering the neighbours too much, because the "fullness" and "room-filling" properties of the sound volume will come more from "effect" than "decibel." [i]*There is no such thing as "future-proof." Time waits for no man. The sun will set this evening, and rise again in the morning. And so on, and so forth.... [/i] [/QUOTE]
