What Stereo System do you have to listen to sweet music?

Corey07 · 22-12-2007, 03:14 AM

Didn't see any threads like this and was interested...

My Current Setup includes-
Harmon Kardon AVR 146 Receiver
2 Sony Right/Left Floor-standing Speakers SF5000
The Bridge Ipod Dock
Symphony Disc Changer

Upgrades for Future-
Pretty soon I'm getting a Klipsch 10 inch subwoofer
A Sony Center, and two surround channel speakers
Eventually I might upgrade my right and left speakers to Klipsch Right/Left F-2's also will
upgrade to a more powerful Harmon Kardon Receiver like the 347...

What's your thoughts? What do you use? What works for You?

Cambridge Soundworks speakers on this computer.
standard skoda speaker set-up in my car
Standard philips hi-fi system in my room.

Nothing posh, nothing fancy.

All my stuff is older than I am... mostly from the 70s and early 80s; scavenged from various people and yard sales. It's great because old amps and those big wooden speakers give everything such a warm sound- especially with vinyl.

Cheap-skate

^Hey, my dad has a high-tech state of the art surround sound type setup for the dvd player. I've played cds on it, and sure they're crystal clear and everything, but it's not the same.

I like my stuff better. And hey, when you're broke, free is a really nice concept.

Black Rose · 22-12-2007, 08:45 PM

Okay, you proved your point

RICK8 · 23-12-2007, 03:34 AM

You don't need mega bucks to get a good stereo set up!!!!!

Black Rose · 23-12-2007, 01:39 PM

Hence why I paid nothing for the speaker set-up on this computer, getting the speakers as a freebie when my old manager upgraded his sound system.

no but it helps

RICK8 · 24-12-2007, 03:33 AM

^Oh did you win the lottery?

Corey07 · 24-12-2007, 04:38 AM

Speakers for the computer are good I guess, don't you need a sound card to get 5.1 surround sound on some of the setups?

A lot of people do think older speakers are the best in quality and sound...

Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.' 'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.' Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee Without axin' leave should go makin' free With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin; So hand the old bone over! Rover! Trover! Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
