I think it will be more useful If I kept it. I was thinking of selling all the components, but I probably won't get that much for it anyways. I''m not sure if it matter, but my parents spent $5000 on the whole setup. I haven't heard these speakers, but I think they might easily beat down my Pioneer speakers: Dayton subwoofer at and use the on ebay cashback to search for bargains. Get a $200 or less receiver, Polk R50 at Frys when its on sale. Save some money and the least I would do is this: Now, I don't know how good is your system compared to my Pioneer system but if it was me, I would try to sell the complete set for as much as I can. It consist of Onkyo 506, Dayton Subwoofer, and 5 Ingsignia Speakers from Best Buy. The truth is.My personal Computer system sounds better than my Pioneer system. They won't sound like any the SBS-01 or like any Home Theater like experience because they simply CAN'T. Those speakers sound just as good as any white van speakers (and thats not saying much). Trust me, that poineer was great at producing noise.nothing to be impress by it. My Pioneer speaker is collecting dust and the only thing I still use from that system is the "rack". Let me tell you, I was as happy as a clown fish.įast foward to today.All my electronics are out the door.

It was an $800 system: came with rack, receiver, amp, cassette player, cd player, and 5.0 pioneer speakers. Your post brings back old memories, I bought my first stereo system back in college when I took out a Perkins loan and went to Sears and bought myself a Pioneer complete system back in 1995-96.can't quite remember the exact year. Just some thoughts to get this discussion started. You would, of course, also need to get the speakers. You could use the stereo amp that you have to compliment the power of the receiver by offloading the front speakers to that amp and running a center channel and surrounds from the receiver itself. You could consider getting a surround sound receiver that had pre-amp outputs, or a surround sound pre-amp (my preference is the receiver). While the DVD player may be able to decode and output multi-channel analog audio (I haven't checked, yet), your pre-amp and amp can only handle stereo. A sub is also a nice addition, as you have mentioned. For surround sound, you'd typically want a center channel (for enhanced dialogue) and either one or two pairs of rear speakers. In terms of surround sound capability, you could use them to compliment some other components, but they can't do it alone. I'd say this: if you like them, then that's what matters. I don't know anything about the quality of those components. I'm not sure what else I would need so if anyone can give me a suggestions I would really appreciated. I'm looking to add 8-10" sub to add to my audio system.Īlso would I need a receiver to enjoy some of the new audio formats or can my DVD player do that? rnav I just don't have the money for that kind of system because of an incident that happened that took a chunk of change to fix. I know I'm comparing a $1500 system to a 12 years old system. With these components do I still need a receiver? I tried watching Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World, but it sound nothing like the SBS-01 system I listened to a few weeks ago.

I'm trying to add whatever I need to have a decent system and keep cost as low as I can. What do you guys think of the speakers and the power amp? Should I keep them or get new ones? I'm not sure if they are good speakers but it cost my dad quite a bit of money back than for this whole system and I decided to keep some of the components. Kenwood 3-way Tower Speaker System JL-929 Nikkodo Digital Echo Processor with Digital Key Controller DEP-2000k Kenwood Quartz Synthesizer AM-FM Stereo Tuner KT-592 THD at 1/2 rated power into 8 ohms is 0.015% over the 20Hz to 20kHz range, and only 0.002% at 1kHz Frequency response is 5Hz to 200kHz, +0dB, -3dB. Specs for the power amp are: 150W RMS from 20Hz to 20kHz at 0.03% THD rated at 8ohms. The power amplifier is 150 watts RMS, and is able to control two sets of speakers independantly. This is a control amplified (or pre-amp).

In the future I plan to get a PS3 for watching Blue-ray movies. I using a Philips DVP-5990 DVD player with this and be watching movies most of the time on it. I found out it was a pretty expensive system back than and would like to keep some of the components and maybe add a sub and a new plasma TV. I have a Kenwood system my parents bought back in 1996.
