    Smaller version of Bose 301 for "sound everywhere"?

    Mirage has a line of speakers that might fit. You can find OmniSats on the used market. They are a much better speaker than Bose!!!

    Recognize this gear?

    Looks like MCS stuff from JC Penny. The TTable is probably a Technics along with the other components. Looks like a P-mount cartridge.

    New listening room coming together

    Nice room and equipment. I have a bigger set of the NHT VT series that I have bi-wired. I could do the bi-amp option with a new amp I should get today. I had planned to use it to power the new wide front speakers in my 9.2 system. Is there any noticeable improvement bi-amping when you have a...

    DESIGN ACOUSTICS. PS-3 Speakers. Are they any good?

    I have a pair of PS-3s in use right now. They are background speakers in our kitchen. It is a well built little speaker with a solid wood cabinet and decent drivers. IIRC it uses a 3.5" rubber surround woofer and a polycarbonate dome tweeter. They were designed, maybe even sold with a sub to...

    Today’s dump picks: Score or snore?

    If you kept any of the lot, NAD is a keeper along with the head demagnetizer. You could flip them individually better and for more if you decide to part with them.

    Any subwoofer recommendations?

    While this might not fit your configuration requirements, it certrainly is one to consider in respect to budget and specs. I am considering it for my main video system because of the preliminary reviews before it's public release. The RSL Speedwoofer 12S. Based on the reviews, the impact is...

    Sansui stack powered by AU 517

    Nice stack. I always wanted a Sansui AU amp but never got a chance. Back in college I sold a ton of that line of JBLs and the 350s were my favorite. You don't see them that often.

    Any experience with Definitive Technology mythos sts towers?

    I have a few vintage DT speakers that I really like. I have always been impressed with their built quality and how they seem to got decent bass out of small drivers. I have a center and satellites from the mythos line that I have paired with some BP-8's in a surround system in our bedroom. It...

    NHT Fans, opinions Wanted.

    I have been a fan of NHT for quite a while. About 4 years ago a pair of VT1.4's and a matching center popped up so I grabbed them. I found 4 Super Zeros to round out a nice surround system. The 1.4's are bipolar if you want or can be switched off for music listening.

    Design Acoustic’s PS-5s

    I have that system. It is a nice sub/sat setup and one that initiated the trend back in the 80's. The sub is probably going to be hard to find alone, but I would start on eBay. The subwoofer is a dual voice-coil design with the crossover inside the enclosure. There are a few options on how to...

    OldSoul’s Current College Setup

    Way better than what I had in my dorm in the 80"s. Same vintage but current at the time. Even tho my stuff was from reputable companies, it was on the bottom end of the spectrum of their line. Technics, Pioneer and Realistic made some good entry level and up the line stuff. Your receiver is a...

    where do you start? front? back? or middle?

    It really doesn't matter where you start, it is about the journey!! If you are on a limited budget, start looking at local marketplace listings and craigslist ads. If you see something that interests you, do some research and THEN ask questions. Speakers are pretty straight forward. Listen to...

    Which player would sound best?

    If you are really limited on space and want a nice vintage piece to play tunes, the Webcor is a nice looking piece and probably more solid than the Philips. Nothing is detachable and looks like a nice suitcase when closed. If you have a bit of extra room, people here at AK will try and convince...
