    Yamaha V473 vs v671 vs Denon 1613

    Great tips. It would be nice if all these manufacturers didn't put so many restrictions on who can sell what under warranty. For example, Amazon is not an authorized Pioneer seller. That's crazy.

    Help with new small/budget sub

    Not really - I would prefer the rattling in my ears to come from something other than my wife I can probably squeeze a F12 in, widthwize, but the depth would put it right up against my wall which is a no-no because of the rear port, right?
