Noob Suggestions

Posted by Brandalfthegrey on August 7, 2012 at 17:23:03:
I'm looking for some suggestions for my home theater setup based on the equipment I currently have. It's a real mongrel of a system that I have slowly put together. What I'm currently using is a Sony STR-DE425 Receiver with two front JBL HLS620 floor standing speakers, a JBL ARC Center, two Yamaha NS-AP5715BLF for my rears and a JBL PSW1200 Subwoofer

Ok, so, now i have some choices to upgrade any or all of the above items. I have a Velodyne SPL Series II 1000 Watt Subwoofer with 5 Velodyne Satellites. I also gathered a Polk Audio set of 6 Satellites - RM101, a Center RM202 and a Subwoofer RM10. I also have a Yamaha RX-V992 Receiver. So what of the above is the best that I should swap out?

My room size is a 17x15 Living Room. I have been collecting the essentials for my eventual basement home theater which will be approximately the same size. So, in the end i plan on having 2 systems, but the basement will be the better of the 2 - perhaps even 10.2 surround?
