Just pack the softball size and weight Orbs back into their shipping box along with the matching Supereight sub and bring them to a good local audio shop and audition them with various receivers...I do think that you need to be genuine about your intent to possibly upgrade and not just fighting off a sudden case of JVC buyer's regret...the small Orb desktop stands take less than a minte to attach...have the shop consultant locate an auditioning room, set the receivers side by side and attach your 16-gauge speaker wire and then you're off and running...I did this once I finally narrowed down my final three receiver choices (Yamaha 2500, Pioneer Elite 54 and Rotel 1055)...do all your objective research at home first and then bring in your favorite DVD's and CD's and let the subjective part of the brain make the final decision...I don't think that the majority of mid-range receiver buyers are looking to spend any more $$$ than they have to in order to meet their respective viewing, listening and budgetary means...however, there are very obvious reasons why some things in life are more expensive than others...just remember that one of life's great ironies is that sometimes what you really want isn't what you really need...
