Disgusting hipster trash.

Any suggestions on speakers to serve as stereos for music and front corners for home cinema surround? Bonus points if there's a center speaker from the same model line or if they sell them individually so I can also get a center of the same model. Was thinking Nubert, small German manufacturer on a self-declared mission for maximum neutrality and detail.
Jackson Gray
maybe these

I just made a thread about record's but I'll post mine here too. It's just comfy for me for now.
Just some old Aiwa.

so i piked up a sony GX67ES receiver from a thrift shop for 3 bucks. Problem is there is no speaker output and the power switch doesn't work (when you plug it in it automatically powers on but you cant turn it off) The headhpone jack works, so im defiantly not chucking it, but my repair skills just arent good enough. I sprayed some contact cleaner, and measured some voltages, and i believe the problem is with the speaker switch circuit and not the actual amplifier.
Is it worth it for me to get it repaired professionally. Its solid specs and I love collecting Sony ES products, but i don't want to spend more than its worth. Any opinions on what i should do
Josiah Moore
Yes.
Evan Phillips
N33t DJ douchebag.
A record collection looks like this.
Kevin Torres
I like you're frosted record player. Plastic sleeves isn't a thing for me. I intend on getting some black record jackets for most of what I have when I'm more settled in.
Christopher Brooks
For inner-sleeves go Mo-fi anti static. Get'um on Amazon.
Outer plastic don't really matter.
Jeremiah Martin
Definitely noted, much thanks
Juan Stewart

also get your speakers off the shelf. the vibrations from it will distort your turntable
retard
Kevin Mitchell
big thank. words are hard.
I also don't play my music very loud, so there isn't much vibration to worry about. I also assume you mean it'll distort my records.
I'll eventually get some stands to separate everything.
Jason King
Why are all these pro audio woofers 8 and 16 ohms? I assume that some of these would be run in parallel to be more suited as an amplifier load, but this also makes trying to find an amplifier that can provide voltage to just one driver very difficult.
Mason Allen
good bike ride, got home just as it started raining again. time to relax with the best headphone experience possible, STAX
Matthew Watson
pretty
Luke Turner
the vintage incandescent bulb is a nice touch

Was REALLY difficult, user.
Anthony Powell
what cone material for the mids?

how many newtons of thrust
Noah Walker
nah
its solid midfi
better than most ot the stuff in any normie store
Dominic Brown
Gorgeous
Brandon Nelson
guys i currently got the jbl lsr308 mk2, im thinking of swapping them out the for the mackie mr824 or mr624
is it worth swapping?
Henry Wood
kinda agree
the 300/400 models, excepting the one thats chinese-made, are better than nearly all integrated amps in that low hightier category
its not really budget though unless youre comparing to something 5 to 7K
Lincoln Taylor
I know where to get the amplifiers. The problem is the driver itself. The difference under load is only a few dB, but it is very, very expensive to extract those dB with high impedance drivers.
Anthony Campbell
The best li'l $5 a pair speakers.
Adam Torres
Krell = indestructible until it catches fire
Henry Gonzalez
rotel is good you might also consider audiolab and higher end marantz
Ayden Phillips
Hudson Brooks
.
Hunter Nelson
why yes, i do listen only to 100 years old jazz recordings on vinyl, what gave it away, the background noise snd abysmal quality? don't worry, i compensate using lo-fi equipment and having damaged ears.
Jonathan Watson
Anyone got experience with a Cambridge Topaz SR10/20?
Looking for a 2.1 receiver to replace my Onkyo TX-SR308.
Listen to music and watch movies, but not too interested in surround sound or anything.
Charles Rivera
baby krells dont get hot actually just warmish - they output only 400 wpc max unlike monster krells with their 2000 wpc
Blake Morales
cambridge topaz is decent
the noisy vinyl reminds him of his childhood days with their biplanes and steam power motor cars
Sebastian Hernandez
should i get 6 or 8 inch speakers?
Joshua Nguyen
Space, price, listening distance, driver integration, required bass extension and output.
Jose Lopez
8 for better bass, on average
unless there's money or space constraints
more expensive 6 inch woofers open perform better than typical 8 inch ones tho because of better designed more costly components and giant magnets
Angel Lee
I was also considering the pioneer slim
Christopher Martinez
thoughts? or is jbl still the poorfag king
Adam Harris
ive read that because they have lower power output and current they tend to distort if you play louder or if your speakers are 6 or 4 ohms
Mason Edwards
Ah. Just got some Klipsch 3.5s to replace my Mission 71bs. Think I'll stick with Cambridge or maybe go for separates or vintage (Teac or NAD most likely).
Asher Flores
It's not that much difference in a price today.
Joseph Nelson
Use this
to get this
Jonathan Cooper
klipsch can be sibilant you might consider peachtree nova or decco-65 which have a tubish sound when you want it (it can be switched off) - theyre $400-$500 on ebay but sometimes theyre on craigslist for $250
Nolan Moore
girls really dont care about audio gear
Christopher Sanders
Anyone knows anything about this thomann deal?
thomann.de
It seems to be one of the last new AB amplifiers for a reasonable price, but I can't find any information about it and seems to be exclusively sold there.
Angel Perez
isn't that a "PA" amp? on par with crown and behringer? may not be too good for home audio
Parker Powell
those numbers look good
loadsa clean power
Jason Collins
Well, amplifier is an amplifier.
It doesn't look like a PA, because it has no fan, you don't want a PA amp without a fan, convection air movement in racks is fucked.
Hudson Mitchell
pls answer
Dominic Morgan
You have to put the speaker in their pants.
Tyler Foster
>Mostly at 1,500
Rip
Maybe I should just get my old sansui cleaned up
Kayden Brown
come on guys i need opinions
Alexander Allen
doubt it would be worth teh hassle of swapping for those. Either you like the neutral sound or you get some hifi shit. Those jbl'
s are great for the money.
Connor Garcia
If you have no problem with hiss - probably no.
Just save for a big upgrade like to JBLs 708
Anthony Richardson
yea the white noise / hiss is the reason i want to sell my jbl lsr308
Daniel Martinez
Might be slightly less hiss, not that I remember comparing them clearly on that point. General response of the speaker is not particularly better.
Camden Gray
You need to check if there is hiss present on these mackies too.
Actives seem to be really hissy unless they are priced high. I'd rather go with passive speakers.
Juan Cruz
Owen Bailey
Any experiences with KEF's new Q or R series?
Carson White
My kefs are from 79.
Bentley Morales
Why doesnt Teac get much love/attention anymore?
Jayden Moore
Alright hear me out. I know nothing about speakers/monitors.
I am currently using a pair of HD650s and a $100 monoprice dac+amp. I am quite happy with the quality and probably wouldn't care to spend money on "upgrading".
What kind of setup and cost would I be looking at to get something equivalent with speakers?
Ryan Gray
The Q bookshelves have a little smile EQ.
The R-series doesn't. KEF also provides measurements of this line FWIW.
Juan Ramirez
Alright, I've decided to sell my JBL LSR308mk2 for the Mackie MR624.
Jonathan Cook
I owned the R900 and it's a VERY good speaker. KEF is a top notch brand that I have 100% confidence in.
