Convicted One
ATLANTIC CENTRAL
two turntables, speakers I designed and built
What kind of amp? I'm using a Marantz 2325 pushing 4 JBL L 166 speakers. Just had the Marantz refurbished.....it's insane what those will sell for these days.
Well, until about a year ago, a 20 year old ONKYO solid state surround reciever, near their top end at the time.
It finally gave up, replaced it with a mid grade surround reciever from ONKYO - because we just moved into our retirement down size home, and I'm going to put the records, turntables and killer speakers in the basement model train room. I will go buy something cool for that.
The newly purchased ONKYO will power some sort of new smaller surround sound speakers in the new living room.
Another older reciever powers another one of my speaker designs in the sunroom of the new to us house.
Here are a few shots of the speakers that will be in the train room:
I developed and build these about 1990 along with matching smaller surround and center channel speakers that share the same tweeters and mids, and use nearly the same crossover for well matched sound.
BUT, like your JBL's, they are a little on the big side. The wife wants something smaller in new smaller house.......
In the old house I built a 17' long, 10' high, custom entertainment center that held the front speakers, TV, equipment, the 1700 albums, 700 music CD's and about 500 DVD and VHS movies.
Not really an option at the new house, mounting the TV over a fireplace, building a 6' wide x 4' tall equipment built in.
So I get the killer stereo in the train room......the one in the sun room rocks the house as well.
