| What direction do I take for an upgrade? I like Bob Reynolds advice. Get a hsu sub. I started this journey with a hk 3480 and have some experience with what you have and are trying to achieve. Several questions. Are you powering 4 speakers in one room? What is your budget? If you are ple... | |

| Can Manley's Stingray power VonSchweikert vr4 jrs? Dali Helicon 400 or Acoustic Zen Adagio. Both are easier to drive than Vr4 JR, look great and are good values. Phil Brady. | |
