I have received all my speakers (rti10's, fxi5's and csi5) and have them hooked up to a hk avr 635. I have an old carver tfm-35 and hooked it up to the fronts and gave it a go and couldnt tell a noticeable difference. My questions are as follows:

1. This may be the stupidess question I have ever asked. Having two volumes you can control how do I go about setting them. Should I turn the amp up to the max and use the receiver to dial the sound in? This will be a home theatre setup primarily. Sorry for such a dumb question but I am a humble man.

2. Should I have noticed a difference in the sound quality. Thing like bass response and such.

3. I have been watching ebay for a 5 channel amp and was wondering if a 150 wpc 8 ohm amp would be worth money?

Thanks again for waisting your time reading this.

    1. Crank the 35

    2. Make sure mains are set to large

    3. Depends on the amp design. 10's are fairly substantial, full range loudspeakers, the 35 should be a good match.

    Quit being so humble, and welcome to the board.
