Thanks for all the advice. I have looked on the internet for tube amps, just to get the feel. I have been trying to play with the receiver to see what sounds best. I am wondering if I can correct some of the sound with an equalizer. My receiver only has the bass and treble knobs and I seem to want to adjust it more than it allows. ------------------ Cornwall I - Front Polk 8RT - Rear Pioneer vsx-d466s -receiver Yamaha turntable Hitachi HiFi VCR

I went to an auction today and bought two pair of very large speakers. After reading this board and other info on the speakers, I have purchased 2 1983 Cornwall I speakers for $40 dollars each. Serial numbers 33Y940 and 941. So far I love them. The wife thinks they are way too big and have to go. I am trying to convince her that they are not much bigger than my Polk Audio 8 RTA speakers. My question is this...I have a plain jane Pioneer VSX-D466S receiver powering them, should I start looking at Amps. If so, what kind? By the way, the speakers are in great working condition, the casing appears to be the Birch covered one and is in so so condition. Not falling apart but it has definitely seen some scrapes here and there.
