I currently have: Klipsch Epic-cf 2 floor standing speakers, Klipsch R12SW, and a Yamaha TSR-7810. A weird combo, I know. I am planning on upgrading to the PSA V3611 sub for more output in a big room and outdoors. The Yamaha receiver just isn't cutting it with it's built in amp. At high volumes, there is resolution, but has super jagged edges that need to be smoothed out. Also when used outdoors, 95 watts combined with peaks in songs doesn't cut it (I don't even think there is 95 watts in the first place). Some amps like from NAD seem to fit my situation with lots of power and a warmer sound, but $3000? Not in my range while that sub is already consuming a lot of my budget. +/- $600 is the amount i'm willing to spend on an amp that has around 350 watts @ 8 ohms. Thoughts?
