new here, need help putting together a system

[poppachubby]

also, worth mentioning i suppose. before i came to college my grandfather gave me a huge vintage speaker. its an electro-voice aristocrat corner speakers. i can't really find much info on it, but he said they were near top of the line speakers long ago. its in perfect condition and hasn't been used in years. anyone heard of these?


thanks again, i know i'm asking a lot of questions. i appreciate all the help.

What's vintage in your system?

Check that link and scroll down a bit. Are those what yours look like? PM badtothebone and ask him about them, he would be happy to help you if he has knowledge.

Asking questions is why this forum exists. It's evident you appreciate the help. Don't sweat it, everyone on here needs help from time to time.

Unless your into hip/hop and electronica. a decent pair of speakers should handle most of your bass needs. At least enough to get you going.

What you need to do is this, pick a budget amount for each purchase, take some of the names you've learned here and start looking. Look at comparable items in terms of price/performance. You can come back to the thread to ask about them. Research my man...

this is the speaker: http://www.hifilit.com/hifilit/Electro-Voice/117-6.jpg although it was a DIY so there were various options. i even have all the original paperwork so i can find out the specs if i need to.

and no i'm not into hip/hop or electronica so for now i'm not worried about a sub for now, i just want to make sure i have the option of adding one later on.

ok, so i'm fairly set on the Energy 200 speakers. so now i just need a receiver. i'd like to do my own research and find a good used one on ebay or craigslist. but before i do that, would you guys just give me some insight as to exactly what to look for in a receiver? all i really need is the ability to hook my computer up to it, hook up 2 speakers, and eventually add on a sub. from everything i've seen all receivers have more than enough power so i suppose that shouldn't be a concern.
