Thank you everyone for your responses and inputs about this topic.
Has really helped me to learn more and move toward an "improved" audio system.
My fiance was trained in sound engineering (20 years ago), it has been a few years for her technology wise, and she worked in sound rooms or recording rooms for voice overs etc. She now does logistics for close captions etc for movies or TV shows etc, so she is not involved in sound rooms tech currently, but we really like improving sound and I love the results and the pursuit along the way. My family is my "test" audience, so this is something the whole family enjoys.
Only reason I mention this is that I really appreciate all of the information.
