hey guys this is my first time on an audio forum, normally i frequent car and cell phone forums.`but anyways, i just decided to upgrade from my current Sony HT-SS360 because i wanted to get better sound and a more professional system. the Sony still works fine and is great for an entry level system on a budget but i was tired of proprietary connections and have to replace a wire if it got torn for whatever reason. Sony will not let you buy just the cord you need but the entire set of cords for a cool 65 after tax.
so to remedy this situation i opted for a new htib with the Onkyo HT-S5500. I got it on amazon for about 450. I know its not going to be be the best system in the world, but i still am on a budget and wanted something a little more high end than what i had. from everything i have been reading it is worlds better than what i currently have. I also purchased 100m of monster thx certified 16 gauge speaker wire with 24k gold plated banana plugs to replace bad and most likely short wiring that will come with the system.
so what do you guys all think of my soon to be new addition? I really am looking forward to your input.
