I wish for him that those were in his budget, but they aren't. He found the Q55 speakers for sale on Craigslist for $125, which I thought was a bit high, until I heard them...they are outstanding speakers, IMHO. I may look into the Dennis Murphy option. The pricing you stated seems much more...

This suggestion is to assist my son, who's in the process of building his bedroom system. He's using my Pioneer VSX-522-K mated to a very nice pair of KEF Q55 speakers he picked up today. We're in the process of fine tuning everything. At the moment, he's using a Polk Audio RM101 that I had...

Thank you for the help. I now know what I need to save up for. Back in the day, I used to be able to drop $400-$600 on equipment without a second thought...not anymore.

Good morning, everybody. I have recently picked up a used Technics SL-1200 for the low price of $10 at an estate sale. It's in good shape, with the exception of a broken hinge clip on the lid. It appears to be a newer cartridge, and sounds great, when hooked up to my JVC RX-517VTN...however...

If you already have a stereo in place, why not go for this? NFC Enabled HD Bluetooth® Music Receiver | BT Music Receiver | Audio | Entertainment | Products | Belkin USA Site I've had one for about 9 months, and love it. I can stream from my Windows 8 phone, my kid's iPod, and with a small...

It has two part knobs...center and ring are adjustable, but work together. Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll give it a shot.

Old Kenwood 50 FM stereo. I'm getting a hum on the low range, and little to no bass. Inputs are heavy on one side, but weak on the other. Caps look good, no leaking, no bulging. Not sure what's causing the hum, maybe it needs a heavy cleaning. Many years of dust and such has accumulated on...

I already did. :) What happened to the days of easily adjused graphic equalizers with spectrum bars? I just realized that my wife had turned the bass down because it was rattling the windows. I fixed it and am a happy guy again. You'd think that with all the modern technology, there would...

Perhaps I need to keep playing around with the settings. Having been out of the game for a number of years, the new technology is beyond my comprehension. This unit is nothing like what I used to have back in the very early 1990's. Everything was perfect, until I replaced the center channel...

My sound quality is good, and the bass is strong. Perhaps it's because I remember how hard the CV speakers used to hit back in the 1990's, and these newer ones just need more power to do so. I don't want to replace components...I was just hoping that I was able to add an overall amplifier...

My sig shows my equipment. I would like a bit more power than what the Pioneer gives me, but refuse to change the unit out for something else. What I'd like to do is locate and add an amplifier...but I don't know if I can hook it up like I did with my old Pioneer, which was through the tape 1...

Ok, the new center arrived today, as did a new sofa and love seat...which have really changed the acoustics of the room. Since the new furniture is taller, I'm going to have to build taller platforms for the two front speakers...the mids and highs don't hit me like they were. I'm going to have...

CV should do you well, then. If you were more into jazz and older classics, then I'd find a different brand.

I know, I know...Never say never. I'm actually dreaming of the time my BD player kicks the bucket, and I can get one that takes less real estate on the stand. I saw some newer ones last weekend, LG brand I think it was, that smaller than my DirecTV box. I also checked pricing on a new video...

Great advise. I'd also like to add that a factory head unit, factory grilles, factory looking sub, etc., will deter thieves fairly quickly. You can add on other items such as AUX ports and hide them so you can plug your mp3 player in and enjoy your music. You can't tell by looking at the...

Today's Cerwin Vega isn't what yesterday's Cerwin Vega was. That being said, they do sound pretty decent for the cost. I'm running those same speakers, ordered the matching center, as well as Polk Audio surrounds. It's a VERY large sounding system, without the major costs. Of course, there's...

The Exploder might need up to 400 watts, depending on what's being pushed, and if it's sealed or free. I've learned that a bandpass box works best in the larger airspace of an SUV. X100 on the RF suggestion. I used to run Punch Series pushing RF subs. No more than 200 on the other...

There's so much I could tell you about my 3 year, $20k adventure in the early 1990's, building and competing in SPL competitions, but in the end it was the stupidest thing I ever wasted time and money on. It nearly put me in the poor house and caused thousands of dollars of damage in to my car...

X2 on the Harmony Remote macros.

In today's vehicles, stock is best. You don't need the kind of base that rattles windows on houses as you drive past them.
