I have an old Onkyo TX-SV444 (1996) driving my B&W fronts and centre and in-wall surrounds. Just bought the SVS PB-10 which sounds great for movies but with music/radio seems to pick up people talking etc. My Onkyo has no way to set a crossover and neither does the sub.

Bottom line is I would like to upgrade the receiver but am curious as to whether components are the way to go. I am going to instal speakers in my back yard (suggestions?) and would like to be able to run music out back and movies inside for the kids. Is this possible with receivers? Like movies best but also appreciate good sound.

Budget is in the up to $2000 range. Is it worth buying used? If so where do you get it?

Thanks
