JVC 400 watt surround sound reciever with Sony center and surround speakers. A pair of 25 year old Advent front speakers that can handle anything I give 'em and still sound great....
My recording gear is my audio system at the moment. Apple Mac Pro with Apogee Duet Audio Interface, Ultrasone Pro 2900 Headphones. Genelec 8020B monitors will be added in the next months.
For my PC audio (for recording purposes also) I have a pair of Tannoy PBM 8 studio monitors that I got for 400 bucks in the late 90s. Have replaced the tweeters, had the crossovers rebuilt (I melted them the first day I got Pantera's "Reinventing The Steel" CD), and had the woofer's foam rings replaced due to dry rot just last year.
Powered by a 100w/channel stereo Pioneer SX-205 Victrola receiver:
When I bought this place I live in, I found the Victrola ID plate in the storage shed. Landlady said they kept the Victrola in the shed for years, but the humidity here in Tennessee slowly rotted the cabinet, so it wound up on the burn pile. I looked the serial number up, and it was a model from 1924.
Then for my 'entertainment center' I have a 4.0 quadrophonic surround sound system. Have never bothered to spend the cash on a 5.1 speaker setup. I have a JVC RX-D202 receiver, which offers 7.1 channel capability at 100 watts/channel.
However, it has the ability for you to program into it how many speakers you have. I have a pair of Fisher floor speakers (about 40 inches tall) with a 15, a mid and a tweeter in each one for my front pair, and for my "surround" speakers which are off to each side of my sofa against the walls, I have a pair of really nice SpeakerLab speakers. So I have the 'surround' function with a quad speaker setup.
Works nice. And the JVC also takes into account I do not have a sub, so it feeds the appropriate bass to all four speakers.
in the computer/music room...a Mackie 1202 VLZ mixer into an Alesis RA-100 and Monitor Ones. had this setup for quite a while and it still sounds good.
living room's got an old Kenwood receiver and amp and four mid 70's JVC speakers. the JVCs used to be hooked up to an equally old Sansui quad receiver. the Sansui needs some work, if anything it'll be a winter project.
not sure what i'm going to do with the "loud" room in the basement. may end up getting a small PA and running the keys/drum module through that, and i can also use it for parties. i'll probably go with a 60" HDTV down there with surround. haven't decided if i want surround on my 46" in the living room yet.
Oh, Btw, My audio system is my apple laptop plugged into a 20 watt 2 channel bass amp I use it for learning songs. Otherwise I listen to music in the car.
