Hi all, I have come seeking wisdom in selecting my next component upgrade.
My current setup is as follows:
AV Processor: Marantz 7701
Amplifier (5 Channel): JBL Synthesis 5165
Amplifier (2 Channel): Chord SPM 1050
Speakers: 2 JBL 4429 Studio Monitors (L/R) + 1 SAM3HA (Center) + 4 In Ceiling speakers for surrounds + 2 JBL Subs
My budget only allows me to upgrade 1 component at the moment, either change my Processor to a Synthesis processor (SDP something) or add a Synthesis Equalizer SDEC 3000 to the mix.
I cannot upgrade both because that would cost too much for now, I will upgrade both eventually when I have liquid cash to burn. My room is a dedicated Home Theatre room with acoustic treatment, but due to the small size, can get a bit boomy.
So now the question is, which should I change? The processor or add an equalizer? Which would grant the greater sonic benefit? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!
