HI folks, looking, like most on here, for some advice about my current set up. In short I have:
Yamaha RX-V677, 7.2 Receiver
Kef 3005.1 5.1
Kef Q3 floor standing fronts
Project Turntable via pre amp
Sony Blu Ray
SKY Q
Samsung 65" 4K TV
5.1 covers the front high mount and surrounds, with the Sub and the Floor standers are the front L & R
Now, I'm aware this is all quite a few years old now and I'm wondering if I will benefit in replacing the whole package with something more modern.
Movies are important ( obv ) generally 5.1 or Dolby True HD is the current output and the turntable through the stereo function ( well 2.1 )
Any wisdom taken into careful consideration

Depends what you're 'unhappy' with in your system I guess.
Speaker technology hasn't changed much, but a change of speakers usually illicits the biggest change in sound
You could upgrade your Yamaha to a Dolby Atmos receiver for a subtle upgrade to the sound (processing as opposed to quality), and add some height effects speakers.
Your screen - depends how old and the technology it used as to whether you would see an improvement in picture quality or not.
If your blu-ray player is HD only, upgrading to a 4K one will show improvement.
