I want to make this clear before diving into a hell storm. I have much more knowledge in car audio than I do home audio, and I don't have that much knowledge about car audio. Regardless, I've been slowly and surely collecting as much home audio stuff as possible and not paying much which while doing so. Since I don't know too much yet, I don't spend that much. So what will follow, is the different equipment I've acquired over the past couple years that I think is worth looking at. Most of it is at least 10 years old. Some of it is 30 years old. I mostly listen to music by the way; not much of a movie fan.



The below picture is the description of the above picture!



The below picture is the current TV setup



The below picture is the JVC receiver you see in the above picture



Panasonic Thruster! Crap then, crap now.

These RTR Series IV are my favorite other than the big Pioneers. Got a set for a whopping 6$








Below is a Yamaha R-v503 that i purchased for $6 as well. Currently, it appears the rear channels and center channels are blown. More investigation is in the near future.

The picture below is the back of the picture above.



And last but not least! A picture of everything except for the JVC and my Klipsch 12" powered subwoofer that I didn't think needed to be pictured / was too lazy to move it.



Whew! I hope that's everything. I go through the process of testing different set-ups to see what I enjoy the best. Mostly it's just a sick obsession with buying used older speakers whenever I come across for them. But as I said again, I get them for stupid cheap so I don't really mind.

Hope you enjoyed!

I really wish the woofers on the RTR's weren't rotted

Partsexpress carries re-foam kits.

Actually pretty easy to do.

So would you say they were a good buy for $6?
I think so

Nice equipment!

Thanks!

I plan on making my first custom enclosures soon. Probably simply following a Zaph design.

Also i think it might be worth noting that the television pictured is a 73" Mitsubishi Medallion projection television. Cost some thing near $3,000 new I think? I bought it for $175 and it works flawlessly. Oh how I love the consumer electronics market
