| Need a receiver for Klipsch Heresy speakers Love the Heresy's, used to have a pair and wished I had kept them. If stereo is still your thing I would point you towards an integrated amp. The Marantz PM 8004 would be my first choice. It list for $1000.00. Their entire line is worth a look wit... | |
| Where do I start with a home theater system? First, if you have not already done this, is to connect your present stereo to your audio video output. Good two channel can beat mediocre surround sound.Option two. As you may not really want to go whole hog. I would purchase a inexpensive new or... | |
