Hello all. I'm new here although I've been reading for a long while. First off I would like to apologize if this is a poor or redundant question. Having said that, I'm currently in the process of replacing a sound bar with a powered sub. The sound bar replaced a 5 channel surround 5 years ago because my wife was tired of the speaker wires looking ugly on the walls. I've decided within the past year or so to replace the sound bar/sub with something nicer.
This will be in my main living room. The room is about 30'x40'. I'll be using the audio system for 70/30 music/TV. I already have a pair of Polk es50's. I plan on getting a powered sub. The only other speaker I would consider adding in the near future is the matching Polk center.
My question is, should I get a new as501 and forget about the center or should I buy a used Rx-v1400 knowing I'll never use the surround channels due to the speaker wire visibility issues? I really like the yamaha amps but I'm honestly a little lost in the details of all this. Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance for any replies.
