tx again guys for the info. placement is already at its best considering the room, and i have some bass traps up, soft couches and carpet, the room is large and rectangular aswell. if anything i should push the back couche forward a bit but oh wells.

considering im in the market for a new reciever i have a few options based on the advice i got.

1. i found a denon 4310 on amazon for 1200,
2. 1299 for a marantz sr 6004 my local best buy
3. pioneer vsx 21 or 23 txh for 699 and 899 respectivly

choice one better DAC's power and all around good pic but it's used and buying online makes me nervous LOL (online used,amazon,ebay....you get the picture)
choices 2 and 3, have pre outs and at a later time i can get an amp. :0)

what whould jesus do.... i mean you do?
