in our front room i currently have a denon receiver of some sort and crap speakers that came with a surround sound system years ago. I understand NOTHING about sound this is purely for the mrs as i don't even listen to music but what would be the best route do you guys who know more than me think for improving the sound quality (for films and music)without spending too much. Would it be centre speaker first or front l+r first? i have 0 clue about sound :D
 
reciever is Denon AVR-X1000 (god bless amazon history purchases) the speakers all came with the Samsung HT-E5550 Smart Home Cinema System but the main unit committed suicide so i replaced it with the denon and a htpc (runs to a ceiling mounted projector for the screen) the main thing that bugs me is clarity of voices when watching films. Price wise obviously how cheap would it be to get a noticeable benefit.
And as i already stated i know bugger all so is what i have total junk?
Before i get the whole music rant i am a musical anhedonic (means music doesn't link to emotions in my brain so it literally is just noise that has a rhythm to me)
I love my tech but with sound it becomes like speaking another language to me!
All the speakers currently are tall standing which is the only way that would work in the room (apart from center)

yeah i bought it because it had auto calibration(sound really isn't my thing)........and ethernet so i could turn the noise down when i was sleeping and she was watching something. Nothing says it's too loud like seeing the volume being turned down from somewhere else in the house. And whats this whole thing people rant about having the centre and front L%R speakers the same brand or something..... Is it really noticeable if they are different? Or is it just another thing that you start to pick at when you're getting into high end stuff

excellent this brings it back to levels i can understand! The only people i know who are in to sound are people that spend what i consider to be silly amounts of money! To be honest in my old place we never had any complaints as i had a huge pair of old wharfedales i picked up for 10 quid from a car boot sale! Apparently they were great for sound but to me it all sounds the same and the ex took them :D
