I would like to upgrade my current entry level 5.1 system. I have the Energy Take 5 speakers (original, not the new) with the energy 10" sub. My entry level Denon receiver puts out approx 60 wpc. Would like to upgrade both the Center and surrounds and still keep the system balanced. I was looking at the Energy center (the next level up from the Take 5 center), but would like some feedback if possible.
Thanks

I have the speakers the next level up from those, at least as centre and surrounds. They are good speakers for the money, but there are speakers with better resolution. I am guessing that you also have an entry level DVD player.Actually everything is likely balanced now. The question is how to upgrade. If you have good quality TV, then I would look at a better reciever & DVD player. Entry level equipment tends to have lots of bells & whistles, but they are built to a price point. Going up market will get you better power supplies for the player and receiver. But as a first step I would look to better speaker cable and interconnects, assuming you are using what came in the box with the player. You can get good improvements with only a couple of hundred dollars. Basically, get good speaker cable for the fronts and centre. Audioquest, Kimber, etc., etc. make decent budget cable that will give you a good improvement. Then upgrade the interconnects from the DVD player to receiver. Don't forget the S-video cable/component cables. For S-video, Tributaries makes a good one for under $50. My experience has been unless you have an expensive monitor, do not spend more than $100 on an individual video cable, you won't see the difference.
