Hello OZ, ET, slaps hot and cloudwalker,

Thank you for your kind responses. I will try to answer the questions asked. In the garage: Harmon Kardon 3480, MK Volkswoofer 1B, Pioneer CS-G403 speakers. It used to sound great, but now is getting tinny and just doesn't get it. Nothing is rattling.

In the house is the Onyko I mentioned, same Pioneer CS-G403 speakers. Sounds great, but the receiver is so complicated, I am afraid to touch it. If I hait a button wrong I am done for.

My thoughts were that if I could find a great receiver and/or speakers, I could get the same for garage and in the house (buying 2 sets). I went to a Soundd Pro years ago, and they sold me everything they could, very expensive, and not for me. Knowiing I wanted loud bass, they sold me Ohm Walsh 2 speakers, that supposedly excelled in highs, but cut out on every song I ever tried to play. I hated them.

Oz, I admit my ignorance. I have no idea what an integrated tube with monitors is. I guess I could go to another audio store, but that is where I got fleeced before, and got no satisfaction.

I finally went with the Consumer Reports best speakers, which at the time were the Pioneer CS-G403s.

All I know is I love my music like a teenager: loud and rockin'. I am not getting it with my current set-up. Years ago I bought a top of the line Ford Bronco, and it supposedly had a terrific Alpine stereo, and great speakers. It sounded thin, tinny, etc. I took it to Best Buys and they listened to it, said they knew exactly what was wrong. They installed a powerful amp under the drivers seat, and the results just blew me away! It was all I could ever have hoped for. It broke my heart when I finally sol the Bronco. Nothing ever sounded as good since except for my current garage set up years ago. Now it sounds like the Bronco did before I had the amp iinstalled. Tinny, not fun, no oomph.

I just don't know which direction to go now.

thanks again,

Dustman
