Noob Help on Home Theater Set Up

Hi All

I am looking for some help in doing up a new (or used) home theatre set up and getting better components. I currently have an onkyo tx-sr605 receiver that does all the work for my 7.1 set up . I am wanting to look at starting to put together something a little better but using individual components.

Can someone tell me what components I need to look for to put something together. I want to also run a phono record player as well and my Onkyo doesn't have any phono pre outs.

Setup:

Definitive BP 7004
Definitive CLR 2300 Center
BMPX Bipolar Surround x 2 pairs
Onkyo TX-SR605
Pioneer BDP-120 Blue ray player
PS3

Can;t help much with answers to your question but there are many here that will with the right info.
You need to give an approximate budget and what you are trying to improve on.
Really no place to start till a budget is established.

Are you wanting to replace your speakers? Or are you talking about replacing just electrical components?

If you are just talking about separates for amplification and you like Onkyo, you could just pick up the current Onkyo pre-pro(I believe it does have a phono input) and some amps. If you are wanting to buy a Blu-ray player, I'd recommend one of the new Panasonics. If you want to also be able to play SACD and/or DVD-Audio, then get the Oppo BDP-93 universal player.

Hi thanks for the responses.

Yes I am looking at going into separate components. i have done a lot of reading and possibly to much now and my head is a mess. Can someone give me a link to an article maybe that's shows how to go around doing up a set up with separate components cause i am a little confused.For example can I keep my amp that I have and add a pre amp to it and build up. Would i be better getting a surround amp and a pre amp. Any little bit a knowledge would be excellent.

Thanks
