Small amp or all in 1 choice?
you can get a quality home theater receiver from shopgoodwill.com (Marantz, Denon, Yamaha, etc. from the mid 2000s). It will cost you a solid $30. I did it, no regrets. Set the seller location, to avoid $20+ shipping. 10s of decent models to choos... 
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
@dz13 I once was cheated out of 20K in a real estate transaction and I soon found out that if I don't have another 20K to lose/give to lawyers, it's all good money after bad. Something wrong with that picture/system. Just like small claims court, ...

I started to read your system description but I admit, it was too long for the moment. I don't think there is a lot of drama to be found here (in this post and in general), my 2 cents: you can't appreciate the peak, if you are dropped there with a... 
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
@wesheadley you analogy is way off and misses pretty much everything in what went down. I suggest you watch Erin’s second review. This is NOT what happened at all. Tekton lost business because of his bullying and continued threats. Which did not ...

this is, with all the info, a provocative post, to some degree. Nothing wrong with that, a lot of good discussions start with overstating facts or opinions in order to force people to take sides and voice their opposition. What’s disturbing to me ... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I lost track, are we still talking about speakers, flying speakers or supersonic jets?   
Am I right for this forum?
are you trolling us? I counted 5 pairs of different speakers on your photos, that alone could be 6 grand. Good for you, I just don't think there is much to contribute to with such a confusing pile of information.

thanks @mlsstl I am looking for easy steps to try, if they won't work, that will be the end of it. Nobody will diagnose it under a $100, I won't throw good money after bad.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@mapman the story for me is about Erin and the future of reviews, not Tekton. It's legal drama, bullying of an individual by a corporation. I have been a victim of this type of nasty intimidation several times as an employee, a real estate buyer, ...

Another, the audiophiles system cost more than his car (s). I am definitely one then, my current (non-existent) car cost zero :)  
Am I right for this forum?
@roxy54 I wasn't implying you criticized him but I was wondering how he is not an audiophile in your eye or anyone's. And yes I know it's not club or degree, I don't cry because I find myself less of an audiophile than the next guy. If I had 3K, I...

@roxy54 he is way more of an audiophile than I am. He is into the technical aspects, he cares about it and knows more about music than most.
