    Would a second sub make any difference?

    I was recently offered a used Infinity PS-10 in good condition for $50. Which is a fifth of the price I paid for the PS-10 I currently own. The only thing is though I don't know if it would make any difference, positive or otherwise. The room my HT is in is somewhat small about 12x10 and the...

    When i received my Infinity c360 today i noticed that the dome on the tweeter seems to have been finger pressed. I haven't had time to listen to it yet, but will it distort the sound or is it a protective covering.

    Do you subs have to be sonically matched?

    Considering that subs only produce the lowest tones do they have to be sonically matched to your existing speakers. If so is there a way to do this without trying them out. Like finding a sub that matches frequency respone to my current sub or is it plain trial and error.

    Onkyo TX-SR702 vs. Onkyo TX-NR801

    I'm kinda of torn between which one of these I should get price wise they are only $50 apart, but a problem arise in the features. The SR702 has PLIIx where as the NR801 doesn't, while the NR801 has net tunes while the SR702 doesn't. Otherwise they are pretty much the same. I did go down to...

    Is this the sign of a failing receiver.

    Lately I have been noticing that I have to crank up the receiver more and more to get the same results. For example 65 on my receiver was so loud that I couldn't even hear my own voice but now I have to turn up to 70-75 to get the same results. I usually kept it around 55. Funny thing though is...
