Thank you for sharing your experience Fred! I am in the same boat - no hearing aid yet, but I have mild tinnitus. I can't hear past around 14.5k Hz based on playing with a frequency generator in my electronics class last year. No idea down how I hear down low, but I have an Rel 12" home theater sub that puts out some great feels when I am watching movies.
I always find it amusing when I see people judging a speaker because it only goes down to 45 Hz and they say they want 28 Hz. All I can think is "Can you even hear down there?"!
And congrats on your Yamaha. I have an old R900 that I still use in my office on some bookshelf speakers, and I love the sound that comes out of it too. Yamaha is one of the last integrateds to still offer you tone controls and a loudness dial, which I use extensively. If I ever need a new one, I will probably stick with Yamaha.
Best Wishes.
Geoff
