Am I missing out on some good sounding Stereo Receivers or do these sound similar?

Kyocera,H/K,Denon,Marantz I finally purchased an H/K Receiver and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT it gave my Bose 201 V Stereo Speakers more Bass.

Speakers are always the top of the food chain. It is the speaker that is going play the biggest role in determining the sound and freq response of your system.

Consider this: The speaker is the ONLY part of the system that is a transducer. It is where the electrical signal gets converted to a mechanical movement that couples to the movement of the air. (Unless you have a turntable, then the stylus is a transducer that converts mechanical movement to an electrical signal).

The general rule of thumb is to spend about 70% of your budget on the speakers.

I am in the same problem, I have to change my old Carves and perhaps my Bose Acoustimass 5. I am looking for help, I am lost out there. I am looking at a Marantz pm7005 and a Rotel ra 12 with small speakers (my wife doesn't want big stuff in our living room, I used to have JBLs, but I had to take them away), I have a 21 x 18' living room. I appreciate your help

These are fairly small, and would sound much better than those acoustimass toys :

If your wife doesn't like those, just gently suggest that she'll get used to them, like those curtains she insisted on that you don't like.

And maybe you could hide a decent subwoofer somewhere inconspicuous. Some people use subwoofers as end tables.

Small speakers can not break laws of physics (aka get full sound from tiny speaker), but some try to bend them like these:

I think I am starting to get used to my Bose 201 V Stereo Speakers lost of Bass nice clear sound quality. I think Bose Aucoustimass 5 are Excellent Speakers. JBL is one of my favorite pairs of speakers despite the fact that I only heard one pair of Speakers unknown Model Number hooked up to some vintage H/K Receiver Unknown Model Number. I am not familiar with your Rotel or Marantz Amps/Receivers you are changing out Carver Receivers? I am not familiar with their sound quality yet!
