hi - i've been using a sound system based around these components: a computer with audio files - good sound card with an optical output - a sony 550 watt A/V receiver [STR-DE925 if anyone is familiar with models, purchased 1998 or 1999 i think]. and a pair of sansai 3 way 3 foot high 1.25 foot wide floor speakers. I don't know much about them other than they sounded nice enough for a long time, were probably originally puchased by .. someone in the early 80's. i dont think they're of all that great quality and probably have a power handling around 200 watts, give or take. The problem is the sound is starting to get fuzzy, distorted, and seems to continue to deteriorate.

So - I was just wondering if anyone had advice on biggest bang-for-buck sound given my remaining components. They'd be functioning in a small room, most likely - bedroom or study. I'm considering any scheme [2 speakers. 5 speakers. 2 monitors and a sub, 2 towers]. I would aim for a price ceiling of 350-400 dollars - but spending less is always good. I'm a fan of high quality sound but reasonable - i know most people won't hear much above 16khz so it's not like i need 22khz frequency response because it's supposed to be in human hearing.

What wisdom have ye audiophiles have for me?
