- a pair of vintage Harman Kardon Fifty speakers (NOT HK 50s) Think 44" glass covered coffins lol ($200 for the pair)
- six ( yes six, two for the center channel) NHT SuperOnes for surrounds ( averaged $35 @)
- a home made 3.6 cf DIY sub woofer with a parts express 300 watt plate amp, needs a better 12" driver ($120 invested)
- Marantz SR6007 receiver (refurbished model)
- a Carver 806x six channel amp, four channels dedicated to bi-amping the Fifties, the other two to the centers ( traded for it)
-a Technics 1200 II turntable with Shure V15VMRx cartridge with SAS stylus ($400 (with AT cartridge I did not like) had the V15 cartridge for many years)
- Technics P770 CD player (<$50 broken but fixed with a spot of solder)
- Denon DRM 710 cassette deck, three head! ($40)
- cheap a## Walmart Visio blu ray player ($60?)
- cheap Insignia LED 32" TV (free from old work place points program)
- still playing with the interconnects and speaker wires.... and the phono input in the Marantz is a little brittle even with the Shure.
I really enjoy the system now with the Carver amp. The HK Fifty speakers just sucked the Marantz receiver dry lol and the Marantz did not like the load of the twin SuperOnes either as two 6-8 ohm (3-4 ohms in parallel) loads nor as 12-16 ohms in series. The HK Fifty speakers just sing now! and the Carver doesn't even get warm with the loads.
Nothing like working on the bikes, cars, projects etc with a little cranked up music.
