Sunfire's new "Ultimate Receiver worth 4 grand?
Personally if you have the real estate for it, separates give so much more flexibility in the long run that it seems short-sighted to get an all in one, but an all in one can often be configured to use the internal amps for surround and atmos chan... 
Subwoofer connection
Either a Y cable on the pre-out jack if you are connecting with RCA cables or if there are speaker level inputs on the sub you can use those, feeding directly from your main speakers. This assumes you do not have a dedicated sub out connection on ... 
Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole...
Thanks guys for all the info and suggestions. If our current set survives until after tax season is over, I'll probably be buying then. It may be sooner but odds are I'll have to wait.  
Beware, scammers everywhere
@akg_ca I agree that these low lifes do walk among us and never is it ever more prevalent than in social media dating websites. I have had good luck with a variety of transactions thru paypal and fleabay, though I havent bought anything thru ebay ... 
Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole...
I am debating the idea of going cheap with the likelihood the set won't last a long time vs a High end Sony that may last longer but is way more money. At the end of the day, a high dollar TV that gives trouble is a lot more trouble than a cheap o... 
Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole...
I appreciate you guys feedback. To address one message, I am not a high maintenance customer or at the very least don't want to be, but when I buy something I want it to work as advertised and if it doesn't then I don't want any hassle getting an ... 
Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K...
The Legacy Focus SE or SD would be a hard act to beat based on my experience with the Signatures.  
Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong?
I like headphone listening except for having the things on my head or in my ears...which is why I use speakers 95% of the time.  
Package Has Disappeared in USPS System
@tony1954 Why the hate for UPS? I continually have had trouble with getting things delivered in undamaged condition. The boxes look like they were given to a gorilla with a baseball bat hellbent on destroying the item inside. This is an over the t... 
Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office.
@jim5559 You make a valid point...what companies are the worst to deal with? That's easy, insurance companies are at the top of my list. But truthfully, its any company that goes out of its way to insulate themselves from their customers. Like UPS... 
Package Has Disappeared in USPS System
I feel your pain brother, ordered an amp from Sweden in early december, and I still dont have it...UPS attempted to deliver twice to my home after I made multiple attempts to get them to either deliver without signature required or to another loca... 
Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less
I would strongly suggest you give class d a try...for a fraction of the stated budget you could be all in on a class d with stupid power, and some of the best sound on the planet. VTV amplifiers offer a 45 day in home trial and you can get power l... 
Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less
@subaruguru are you into the older subies or the new ones? What are you driving that you really like?  
Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?
If you are willing to TRY a class D amplifer, VTV makes a few different models class D amps, some with tube input buffers, others with different Op-amp choices to flavor the sound in the direction you want to go. These all have a 45 day trial peri... 
What's your definition of an audiophile?
Ok I'll weigh in on this one. The stereotype (pun intended) is one we all know and love(?) of the know-it-all who puts down others for their choices in equipment when possibly their own choices could be called into question that cares more about t...
