First of all, my system is getting kind of long in the tooth but still sounds fine to me.(though I'm wondering if a total upgrade would really make a huge difference for the $$ involved. I hear the new speakers in the showrooms and they sound sooo sweet)

Anyway,my current line-up consists of the following;

Front's-Rt-55i 's
Center-Cs-400i
Side surround RT-35's
Rear surrounds FX-500i
Receiver-Onkyo TXSR-800

My sub was an old, JBL 10" downfiring 150 watt monster(compared to today's subs) but as a downfiring sub,provided good lows while still being fairly clear.Unfortunately,the sub quit working as I think its amp is bad.(a constant hum)

I 'tried' a Velodyne VRP-10 and that just didn't do the job at all. I'm currently 'testing' a Velodyne DPS-10 that shakes the pictures even at the lowest levels.
Both the receiver and sub have cross-over settings.

My system is used primarily for HT. The room is 10'W x 18'L X8'H and has a hordwood floor.

I'd be grateful and appreciative for any help.

Thanks,
Brentski
