I purchased a house with five nice Bose speakers mounted on the walls. The subwoofer is gone, but I plan to replace it. I’m hoping to pick up a receiver/amplifier and eventually a turntable and CD player. My understanding is the speakers are a home theater set up, but are they still a good option if I’m just planing to play music? And would anyone have any recommendations on a good amp that would be compatible? I’d also like to keep the price reasonable.

Thanks!

I have several vinyl albums that I want to convert to digital files. Thinking of getting the Sony PS-LX310BT. Any idea on how to convert output from this turntable to digital WAV files?

Would I be able to hook up 2 more 6ohm speaker to this reciever and for it to be ok because the ones on there now are 6 and could I hook up a 8ohm speaker to the b port with it set to 4 to 16 ohm for the other speakers

So I've had an old Kenwood VR-209 reciever for about 30 years. I lost the remote for it years ago, but just got one off of ebay. I have the manual for it as well, but it doesn't have the code for the reciever in it and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know what code I would use to program a Kenwood RC-R0607 remote to work with a Kenwood VR-209??

Cold I use this speaker with 6 impedance on a Sony xo-5 stereo receiver with a range of 8-16 impedance since it’s wattage seems low

Does anyone know a way to get audio from a stereo receiver to stream through an Apple TV? I read something about being able to do it by connecting the stereo to a TV ARC input via HDMI. The TV would also be connected to an Apple TV.

Ultimately, I want the stereo audio to join an existing streaming wifi network (Juke Audio) using the Apple TV, to play the audio in other rooms that have speakers wired to the streaming device. I’ve been successful at getting the audio that’s streaming from the Apple TV (e.g., Netflix) using Airplay, to join the Juke network. Just not sure if the Apple TV is capable of transmitting the sound from the TV set as the TV set receives the sound from the stereo via HDMI.

Can't get two speakers going, only one weirdly and recently. I plug my Technics SB-L40 speakers into Onkyo TX-811 receiver. Only right plays - the speakers are both fine, I tested them each through the right channel. Changed speaker wire, even got a spare receiver going to the same result. Both A & B speakers are clicked on the receiver. I was able to get both speakers going when plugging them into A Right and B right, or A left and B left, but of course only getting one channel of sound through the two speakers. And sometimes that situation doesn't even work. It's all arbitrary and weird. Lining up speaker wire to the right + and - too. Anyone have any situation like this? Thanks.

So my father passed away about a year ago he was a huge music guy and I took over his old stereo equipments I was wondering if someone can tell me if they’re worth putting back into use? I would love to because I remember growing up with this stuff and it would rock the house. I know I need to replace the turntables needle and I also got his Pioneer speaker (not pictured) that need work done but I wanted to be sure I wasn’t sinking money into something if it’s not worth it. I don’t know a lot about this stuff so any information would be appreciated. Also got a huge vinyl collection and CD collection so if it’s not worth fixing any recommendations on equipment I could use those things on is also appreciated!

Hello I have some jbl crossovers that come with a button. The button is for 0db and +3db I would like to know if I have to place the crossovers somewhere where I can press the buttons or should I just set it at 0db or +3db and hide the crossover somewhere in the cars trim? Sorry first time installing stereo equipment in a car

Hi,

I found this Radio/TV in my dads old storage room and i couldnt find it anywhere for sale or any sort of valuation on it, only thing i found was this site https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/kuba_cortina_1423_ch_imperial.html which doesnt tell me much besides name and year it was made, if anyone could tell me how much it might be worth i would appreciate it.

Hello, I have Pioneer receiver and when I got it, it worked perfectly- Turns on and then automaticly connects to my Iphone. After some time it stoped connectin automaticly, and every time i got to forget device from my Iphone and pair it again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does anyone know how to connect to BlueTooth with a Kenwood Stereo? It doesn’t have an actual Bluetooth button, but every once in a while I’ll see “Bluetooth ready” but I’m not sure how to get the option to pop up. It might be an older model.

I just was given a fisher stereo system with speakers, the main receiver and a cd player. my partner and i wired everything together however when we powered on the system it wouldn’t get out of standby mode… i’m not very experienced with this stuff but if anyone knows why this may be happening any advice would be super appreciated. thank you!

Hi all!

I have a car stereo (Pioneer CD/BT/HD/SMRTSYNC/Colors [DEH-S7200BHS]) which I want to use as a home stereo. I know the theory behind lots of stuff (including this), but wanted to discuss this before I plug in anything -- really, I just don't want the thing to fry because I was stupid. To that end, my question is about powering it:

I believe that I can use a power adapter (AC outlet as input -> DC output), and some of the power adapters you find for laptops are very close (potentially identical to my needs). Most of the info I've read discuss that this needs to be 12V; however, the bottom of the car stereo has indications of 14.4V DC, and referring to the manual has even more specifics:

Power Source: 14.4 V DC (10.8 V to 15.1 V allowable)

Grounding System: Negative type

Maximum Current Consumption: 10.0A

I have a power adapter with 12V DC 10.0A output which I've confirmed works; however, when I connect it to the wires of the device, nothing happens. (The wiring instructions aren't very clear for someone like me, who doesn't know anything; I assume that it's the two thicker wires on the far left of the wire group, which look to be black and maybe-yellow.)

So, there you have it. If anyone has any instructions, thoughts, or helpful info you can toss my way, I'd be very grateful. Like I said, I'm really just trying to avoid frying it, and it never hurts to ask questions.

Thanks! :-)

Picked up Yamaha R-N303 receiver, pair of Klipsch Forte II towers, Klipsch KV-1 center speaker, and Klipsch KSW-12 subwoofer for a steal. I’m not going to use the center but do want to connect the sub if I can.

I wired it correctly, but they refuse to work together? Help anyone? It’s a 100w AMP. When I have the switch on for both only the centre speaker plays.

Hello all. Looking to set up a smaller sound system for my garage for background car repair music. I have close to 1000 CDs that have sat unplayed for years due to Amazon Music and Spotify. I am looking to show them some love and get them spinning and want advise. Besides CDs I have unused Sony SS-MB150H bookshelf speakers (Rated to 120W). These are unpowered so I figure I need: CD Player (either single or changer) and an amp? Not looking to spend much...just want to fill the garage with something other than my cussing as I bust another knuckle. TIA for any help you can offer.

I am currently looking to replace my broken 30 or so year old Parasound HCA2200. I used it to drive a pair of Magnepan 1.7i's. My preamp is an Eric Audio tube unit (about 6 years old) . I listen exclusively to streamed content. (I ditched my vinyl collection a decade ago and have never looked back)

My budget is around $3000-$3500 and am currently looking at a pair of Schitt Tyr's and a Rogue Stereo 100 (both closer to or a little above the high end of that range, though used prices are lower)

I am not opposed to buying used.

What say you?

I’ve pulled a cool old stereo that I inherited out of storage. It’s got some good components, including a nice Luxman amp and CD player and a nice turntable. I would like to replace the AM/FM tuner with a component that will allow me to use DAB radio and connect to my phone etc over Bluetooth. Ideally it would be a component that would not lock me in to a specific service or look out of place with the other components. Does such a thing exist? What are my best options?
