How to get best sound out of what I got?

[chuckarooster]

I am what you guys call "newbie" I'm quite sure. I have been buying stereo equipment for awhile not knowing much but complete basics. I finally decided to do what us men refuse to(ask for directions). Trying to optimize the best sound with what I have. Used mostly for music in man cave. my receiver is a pioneer vsx455 since my onkyo txnr807 needs new hdmi board. I have a wide range of speakers and don't know which ones to use or where to put em. I have pair of zenith allegro 4000's, pair of bose 402w's and 301's. klipsch kg4's and a little optimus powered sub.

I think if Klipsch are in good shape, they might be solid choice. Optimus is of course radio Shack (rip) brand which is rebranded pioneer. I don't know if you need to use or not. It might be useful - you probably should measure it's response to know for certain

I kinda modified the optimus a little bit using only bc of built in amp. klipsch are in good shape. and when i say mancave I mean my garage. that's why i've just pieced this together. normally when people come over and hang out it's after the bar so how the music sounds doesn't matter as long as it's loud. haha.
