So, what music are you listening to now?

I replaced it once because the on off button sticks, but the Yamaha just didn't sound as good so I have a new barely used Yamaha receiver in storage.

I've never had a house that does them justice until now. My new home has a huge living room with a tall peaked ceiling. I have an entire wall devoted to my stereo with adequate space for the speakers, with no barriers around them. The stereo sounds wonderful no matter where you are in the house, front porch or deck.

Glad you enjoy it. I have heard it said many times that one of the most important pieces of a stereo system is the room. I have gone through dozens of speakers, and very few of them sound as good anywhere else as they do in my living room, where they have lots of room to breathe.

Most of my sons' contemporaries are not used to decent stereo systems. I just set one of their friends up with a pair of franken-speakers I had rehabbed and tweaked. He was amazed at their sound, although they were far from my best speakers. Have to give the kid some credit, though; he wanted to set up a system for playing his vinyl.
