Basically as the title states. I'm conflicted if I should upgrade my receiver which is working fine, considering its age.

Current setup:

AMP: Pioneer VSX-923

Fronts: Sonus Faber Lumina V (Bi-amp'ed)

Rears: Sonus Faber Lumina II

Center: Sonus Faber Lumina Center

Subs: 2x SVS SB3000

My setup is probably used for 40% casual tv. 40% music, and 20% Movies.

I'm using a Nvidia shield for all my media, HDMI directly Into my TV, and then using toslink from my TV to the amp.

There's currently a deal for the Cinema 50 at around 1500€, and I'm trying to convince myself if I should buy it, or if I shouldn't.. like, is the difference gonna be that noticeable?

I've been looking for a new pair of shoes for daily wear with the occasional light run, but I just can't seem to find something that fits my needs.

The shoes will mainly be used for walking around, going to work, and everyday wear, with some light running in my spare time. I average around 15,000 steps a day, weigh about 100 kgs, and wear a size 51 EU.

The best pair I've owned for this kind of use was the Adidas Ultraboost 20. They were incredibly comfortable while still looking enough like a lifestyle sneaker that I could wear them casually without feeling like I was wearing running shoes.

Recently, I bought the Evo SL Exo, but I just couldn't get used to how they looked for everyday casual wear. I also tried the Vomero Plus, but unfortunately the largest size available was a 49½, which ended up being too small.

At this point, I'm struggling to find a shoe that has the look of a lifestyle sneaker but still gives that soft, "walking on clouds" kind of comfort.
