Hi,
I am setting up my first "non system in a box" setup. I currently have an Onkyo 7.1 receiver and a Monster brand massive sub. Both were given to me recently. As for speakers, I am currently using cheap sony bookshelf ones for now. I saw that newegg has Polk monitor 40 speakers on sale for 119.99 and the cs1 center for 59.99 which seems good based on what I see elsewhere.
My question is, would this be a wise start to a budget system? My other option would be to buy a better center than the cs1 and continue to use my cheap speakers for a bit since I am new at this and have read that the center is the most important. I know the cs1 is a good speaker, but I think the Monitor 40s are above it (polk isnt too clear with their models between the tsi, ts, monitor...)
Also should tell you that this is used for gaming, movies and sometimes music. This is in a larger bedroom where the average speaker is about 8 ft away. Sound quality is most important to me.
Thank You for your help.
