Hello, all. I have been lurking on here for a couple of weeks. I currently have a cheap stereo reciever (20 year old pioneer SX-312R) connected to a pair of BIC america DV84 towers (purchased about a year ago). Also have a Panasonic TH-50PZ80U Plasma tv, along with a cheap Phillips upconverting DVD player and Directv HD service (each connected to the TV by HDMI. I then have a component audio out going to the reciever. All this is in a 20x20 LR with vaulted ceilings.
My problem is that I have started watching more movies, and the sound of the dialogue is nonexistent, I have to crank the sound, and still can barely hear the speaking parts of the movie, just get more of the background sound. I am assuming that this is due to the missing center channel?
In any case, I am wanting to remedy this by adding a new reciever and a center channel now, then a sub and rear surround in the next 6 months or so. I have been doing lots of research, and I am leaning towards the Onkyo TX-SR-607, and the BIC center DV62CLR-S or Formula FH6-LCR. I have read on here that you should at least match your center and front L/R's.
A few questions I have are:
1. Will this sound ok for a while until I can get a sub and surround hooked up? Or I guess what I should ask is would it sound better than what I currently have?
2. I like the looks and sound of the BIC towers (even on my puny reciever), should I source all of my speakers (surround, sub(s)) from them also?
I am sure I will think of more questions later, but thanks in advance.
Ron
