| Best Stereo Upgrade Value Upgrade value depends upon your system. In my modest secondary system (Yamaha AVR, NHT Super Zero Speakers, Pecan Pi Streamer) I recently replaced an old sub woofer with an SVS 3000 Micro sub. I followed SVS guidelines and changed the subwoofer ... | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions The Yamaha A-S3200 would work for you. It supports 2 sets of speakers and has home theater pass through. When I was looking at integrated amplifiers several years ago I looked at listened to the meager selection of amps that supported two sets o... | |
