Thank you all so much for the excellent replies.
I hooked up my Brand spankin new Denon 2805 to my current speakers a set of tiny jbl's. And I think I blew out the right front while trying to erase an audition of some Martin Logans. This makes a speaker purchase very important.
I have a homemade passive sub that does an amazing job in a 15x25 space. Is that too much space for book shelves to handle?
I'm just gonna call axiom and ask them what they think.
I just paid my bills for the month and I have quite a bit more leaway than I thought.
Thanks again for the replies!
