Fine except for the constant humming

First, I was looking for an affordable receiver/amp to replace mine which had died. I was used to a 5.1 system that sounded great, but was willing to go down to 2 channel because, how bad could it be? My verdict on that is not to do it unless you add a powered subwoofer, which I don't own. (With jus...

Help with budget setup, preferably tube amp

Onkyo TX-8220 or Yamaha A-S301.

Or Loxjie A30 or Aiyima D03 if you want something smaller size.

Forget about getting tubes at this price range.

Nice receiver but needs more power

I have this running a pair of small Boston speakers and you really need to turn up the volume to get some good sound. Also, it only adjusts bass and treble. This would be good in a bedroom...not a living room.

Cambridge Audio axr100 or Marantz PM 6007 for q acoustics 3020i?

Onkyo TX-8220 or Yamaha A-S301.

No need to buy an amplifier as expensive as the AXR100 or PM6007.

I spent several days researc...

Very nice

I have a sneaky feeling this receiver deserves 5 stars. I'll give it 4 until I use it awhile. The sound is awesome. Clear highs without tinny sound, comfortable mid sounds, and just enough deep bass to get my Klipsch desktop speakers to purr like a cat. This replaces a fairly new Sherwood 4508 and i...
