help, please

I am an old-school hard rock and heavy jazz fan,I like loud clean bass and thump. Everything used to sound pretty goo, but nothing sounds so good anymore. I have a garage set-up (I work out there a lot and want inspiring music) with an older Karman receiver, a MK 1B Volkswoofer and old Pioneer CS-G403 speakers. In the house, I have an Onkyo AV TX-SR705 theatre system with another set of the same Pioneer speakers. That is working fine, and I run my TV and DVD and Blu-Ray plaers through it, but it is so complicated it would take a civil engineer to work it. I had to actually pay someone to install it, and I'm afraid to touch it. For the garage the music just sounds awaful. Tinny, distorted. I think it is time to replace some stuff. But, what receiver? I heard Yamaha R-S500. I also heard ELS-3 bookshelf speakers. Do I need an amp (not the old Volkswoofer?_ Any help would be greatly appreciated.I just want great sounding loud rock and jazz with lots of bass. I don't want technical stuff like the Klipsh Ohm Walsh 2 speakers that lasted about a week that cut out on any high bass. Help, please!
