Well, despite the best efforts of two surge protectors, lightning took out our cable modem and AV receiver last nite. I swapped the modem out this morning in a jiffy, but spent several hours shopping around for a replacement amp. The old one did great for 10-plus years, so I did the same thing I did back then: bought the cheapest Yamaha I could find. What a difference! It took almost a full hour to set up (you gotta tell it how far each of the six speakers are from your head, crossover freqs, decoder setup, etc., etc., etc.), but it was worth it. The sound quality is unbelievably better than old setup. No more muddy center channel! Also, I get AV component video switching as well as optical and Pulse Code Modulation audio input! Woo-hoo!
So, if you’re still sittin’ on that old Pro Logic system, get out there and make some rain.
