Speaker upgrade

polkerfan

Just need some advice- my current setup is as follows: Denon AVR-591, Polk TSi 300's for the front, CS-10 for the center, OWM3's for the rear, and the PSW110 sub. I just purchased a SONY XBR55x850B 4K tv, and will be upgrading my reciever to the DENON AVR 2100w (7.2 channel 4K). I want to then upgrade my front channel and the rear (will still only be a 5.1 set-up). I am pretty sure that the speakers I have were 'timbre matched' (if that's the right term) to each other, but what can I upgrade the front channel to that will work well with the other speakers without changing everything? I wanted to upgrade to a new set of the TSi500's, but they seem to be quite difficult to find now. Polk has their new TSx series out as well. I also found the MONITOR 75T, which from what I've read, are awesome. I plan to upgrade the rears to the OWM5's (enough of a difference?) What are some other options for front channel speakers that will be a good match. Or am I overthinking this!? Thanks, everyone.

I would go higher on the food chain for an AVR. If that means going to 7.x, so be it. I'd also recommend going with a bi-pole/ do-pole or bookies rather than the OWM's. Just never really liked the sound of them.

I would also look at better sub. Personally I think the sub and surrounds are a weaker link than the front 3.

I would advise going to accessories4less and get a refurb AVR.
The TSX-110 and either the SVS PB-1000, or the HSU VTF1 MK2.
The sub and surrounds will cost less than either of the floor standers you mentioned, and in my personal opinion be money better spent.

Congrats awesome tv got the same one myself awesome picture isn't it? Why not get a pair of TSI 200s for rears a CS 20 center and a better AVR with preouts with 4k pass not a lot of money with out revamping your speakers. I Think Polk has TSI 500s available on Polks EBay sight but don't think you would want towers like your 300s as rears. Enjoy that new Sony good choice.
