So I currently have the Onkyo 760 set up in my living room (for the last year actually), and have been thinking about upgrading. Two options are available:
1.) I have yet to use different speaker wire. Is the transition from 22 gauge to 16 a noticeable improvement?
2.) If I move to new speakers, I'd like to keep the quality Onkyo receiver. While Aperion and Axiom are out of my price range, I have been considering the JBL Northridge E30s or Infinity Primus 150s. Any other suggestions in that price range? Do I need a new receiver to get the full enjoyment out of these new speakers?
3.) The 760s have done a great job with movies and fair with music. I know the JBL or Infinity speakers will sound better musically, but will movie reproduction improve noticeably?
