Hello,

I will take a shot at helping here.  I recently upgraded myself (LCR and Sub), and I can say just in my personal experience, since you already have one of the vital pieces (sub) which gave me my biggest improvement (due to the fact I was coming from a much older sub). The next piece that gave me the biggest gain was the center channel (I have the 1723 S Center), once again over an older center I had.

Adding the second sub will definitely help/be better, but making a lot of assumptions on my part, the center channel would give you the biggest perceived gain in performance.  Looking at your current speakers, since they have a similar type of tweeter (dome), I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the center not matching, especially if you plan to upgrade the L/R channels at some point.  Just keep in mind the 1723 S Center is decent amount larger than what you have now.

I hope this helps.

It didn’t wow me either unfortunately, not like GhostBusters: Afterlife.  With that said, I think it was better than most other of the Marvel Atmos tracks (Disney).

Did you get a chance to see Adam Project on Netflix yet?

I just received “Spiderman: No Way Home” today and will hopefully get a chance to see it tonight.  Will report back on how it goes.

Would like to call out another not yet mentioned.

No Time to Die 4k – also has a great sounding track.

Here is an interesting paradox.  Is it the movie soundtrack that is good, or the fact that soundtrack is playing through Arendal speakers that makes it sound good?

Ford vs Ferrari is a great track as well, highly recommended!  The early versions of the Marvel moves are pretty good (non-Atmos).  Iron Man and Iron Man 2 with their BluRay tracks are quite good.  Adam Project on Netflix is probably the best streaming audio track I have heard to date, definitely worth a look!
