I wont be surprised that there will be some (justified) trolling here. But anyway, here we go.
For the last few weeks i was in "slow search" mode to buy some speakers for my lounge bar which i own.
And as it always happens, i didnt wanted to spent much (because we dont really play any loud music at all), neither did i want to buy a 50bucks worth of boombox for that purpose.
So today, i was walking along the "second-hand shop"here (in Philippines). Ive decided to drop by just to find out that the shop is on a "CLOSING SALE". So i`ve ended with a obvious gem find. I pay a guy 75 bucks (in local currency) for fully working:
1x Definitive Technology speakers BP-2006 Bipolar Array
ebay:

2x Definitive Technology speakers BP-8

plus the guy gave me an (old?) dvd\tv\cd SONY player with amplifier. Altho he said (which was obvious for me) that "somehow thats probably not the right amp for these speakers".

okay. Thought #1. Yeah im a stupid idiot with lots of stupid idiots luck. Because even the fast run around ebay shows that those 3 towers just cant cost anywhere near 70usd.
Thought #2. I grew up in a family where my father play 60-70s rock 24\7 on a very good system.
I do appreciate that kind of quality, but for the last 15 years all i did is live alone, travel the globe and setup my own bar. So im kinda far far far away from whats "right" now in terms of speakers\amp setup.
So question #1. Is there a "right" Def Tech amp which is "suppose"to come with those speakers\speaker with sub? As my little education tells me the "full setup"whould have been llok like:
1x Def Tech bp2006
2x def tech bp-8 speakers
2 of some "tweeter"?
and.... and some amplifier to fire up that whole setup?
Am i right?
So if i am... what kind of amp should i look for?
Those (both) bp2006 and bp-8 speakers kinda consuses me. There are way too ,any internal speakers & subs. So i do understand that there is no way they can property work from the öld\standard" amp.
Because when i connected that whole setup to a given SONY cd-tv-dvd player with an internal AMP....
BP-8 sounds GREAT... but they lower "subwofer"part wont even reacting to the amp.
And if i connect 1 BP8 and 1 BP2006...... BP2006 also plays highs\mids nice.. but the SUB section is almost dead. If i conenct BP20006 alone (no side speakers) its plays nice... and there is some bass coming. So yeah. Obviously its a question of getting a nice AMP now.
Any directions?
Ive spent more then 2 hours in Google, but still im not get it. How does that INITIAL home theater based on those speakers\sub was SUPPOSE to look like?
