Hey guys and gals!
I finally moved away from my Logitech Z-5500 PC 5.1 surround speaker system setup (Toslink) and went to a proper AVR, mainly for codec reasons, but of course I'm enjoying the sound improvements heaps! I don't want to spend tons of money, so far I lucked out extraordinarily though, which leaves quite some budget.
I currently have the following setup:
Receiver: Denon AVR-X1600H (for free - bought on ebay, damaged during shipping, money back, was able to repair it myself)
Front L/R: Klipsch R-28F (150€/pair)
Surround L/R: Canton Fonum 200 (for free from relative)
I use the Logitech center satellite as a (terrible) center speaker for now and want to upgrade there at first! (If you guys think a 4.0 setup without the Logitech center speaker would yield a greater result for the time being let me know!) fyi they are 8 Ohm as well as all the other speakers.
The Canton Fonum 200 were leftovers from a stereo receiver setup from my grandmothers, let me know if they're a bad pick for my setup as surround speakers and should be changed to something else.
I'm now looking for a (list of) recommended (Klipsch) center speaker(s) which would work nicely with the R-28F speakers.
After the center speaker I'm looking to upgrade to a dedicated subwoofer, any recommendations more than welcome!
I'm not terribly set on Klipsch (read that many don't "love" Klipsch here), at least for the center I'd appreciate Klipsch for the homologous look...
I live in Germany and love to shop used - so preferably only recommendations which were sold in Europe/Germany, even better if they've been around for a while and on the used market.
Thank you all so much for your input! :)
