What makes a surround sound system good: the receiver, the speakers, or combined?
I am moving into a new house and leaving my old surround sound speakers in the previous house. I have a fairly new 5.1 Sony Digital A/V Control Center. I've not been really impressed with it, but the speakers I've had are very cheap ones (Sherwood home theater that cost like $100 8 years ago). Will buying a better quality speaker improve the performance, or would the cheap speakers I had really have mattered?
I know very little about how to choose quality, other than by brand name. Would buying a set of Bose speakers be a waste if I don't buy the Bose receiver? The room these will be in is somewhere around 30'x30', so ability to control sound in a large room is necessary.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Great feedback so far.
Carlton,
The A/V center I have is a Sony STR-DG720.
Looks like that makes it a 7.1 receiver. Shaking head at my limited knowledge 
It gets a bit confusing after a while, especially when this is not your forte. I will keep my comments simple and short. I believe my comments will clarify your decision point on what to do next. I have provide a link in laymen's terms about the quality of Polk rm6750 speakers. One of the reviewers has a fairly large room. Your receiver is a keeper and will be capable for years to come. http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Channel-Theater-Speaker/dp/B0002WTK4S The Polk speakers run $243 on Amazon.
The better you can keep it simple you will arrive at making a clear decision.
I suggest you purchase the Polk RM6750 Home Theater Speakers. If you have speaker stands use them. And that is it.
The only other consideration would be speaker wires running through the room. They can be tacked down embedded in the carpet nearest to the floor boards. Wireless speakers are an option and much more convenient. If you choose to go wireless I suggest you purchase Audioengine A5 series speakers only. They can be had for $325 from RAM http://www.ramelectronics.net/music-sound/speakers/powered-monitor-speak
Audioeingine A5 series enhances what you have, takes up less room, very simple set up and has the sonic power to fill a 30 by 30 room with ease. It is a self powered flexible wireless application that enhances Your Sony unit. You will have superb sound quality and dexterity for movies, games, music, even karaoke for entertainment.
Best.
