Philips powered speakers

[Dustin_Broke]

Well I think this biggest problem is I' am always in a limited budget and getting $35 a week from helping around the house isn't enough to really get someone new. I do try to save but some goes to the gas and other things. Also I' am trying to upgrade my desktop PC as well. If as I said before I had money I would get the JBL Studio L Series L890 floorstanding speakers with a nice stereo receiver. But NO way I can afford those so that's why I try my best with my budget and get something I will be happy with like my current Philips speakers. Of cource I would be super happy if I had those high end JBL speakers. I think though the best JBL I had was the JBL S38 I got used many years agao but I sold them and got a pair of Alesis Point Seven studio monitors and yes I sold those already also. But I should of kept the JBL S38. Or even at least kept the JBL S26 since those were great sounding speaker to me. Then by now I might of gotten a better receiver to power the speakers.


Oh well it's too late now.

But at least I had a chance to listen to allkinds of speaker from low end ones to higher end ones.

It's never too late, just try saving money, as I said, there are lots of nice 2nd hand deals out there, 50 or 100 could buy you a nice vintage marantz receiver from the 22xx series, and then you could start saving for speakers too, while in the meanwhile, you could power the philips speakers with your receiver...

I saved up a long time, and I eventually bought a Mcintosh amplifier, and Thiel speakers, costing much much much more than I originally thought I could save up, but I got there, just be patient.

and the green dots are not ping numbers, they are somekind of "respect-o-meter", if you make a post that is actually helpful in a thread, or where your opinion is truly appreciated by others, members here can give you a positive rep point, adding to your rep score. Like this, you build up the green dots...

you can check your score on your user control panel.

Keep them spinning,

The next time you feel that you have saved enough for an upgrade, just put that money away where you won't spend it. Wait until you are ready again, but don't buy anything. Just keep shopping and saving. Next thing you know, you'll have enough for a decent receiver. Then start saving again. After awhile, you'll have enough saved up to own a nice receiver, decent bookshelf speakers and a small sub. It may not be the monster system that you've dreamed of, but it will be a whole lot better than what you have been using. I guarantee you you that you will end up happier in the long run.

Oh, and keep coming here. Read other threads from people talking about their systems. Keep asking questions. Read ALL the replies. Even the ones that seem rude often have information that can help you down the road. Remember. Life is not a sprint. It's a marathon. Don't be in a rush to throw your money away on something that isn't really any better than what you already have.

Maybe just one thing to look forward to. http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/B1031A.aspx

At $35.00 a week (minus gas and other expenses) I sincerely doubt that Spanky will ever come close to being able to purchase even a decent sounding system. And if he did have the funds, he would not have a clue what to look for. So, given that he has provided us with so much entertainment over the years, I propose the following: Lets hook him up!

I have 2 sets of speakers languishing in my garage: a pair of Polk Audio bookshelf speakers and a pair of vintage RSL VA-6A's. Both would be substantially better than what he's used to. If I can persuade another philanthropic member to part with an unwanted, but respectable power source, I will ship whichever speakers mate best with the amplification in question directly to SVI, on my dime. I would expect that the generous owner of the amp would do the same.

I believe that this would have the effect of giving SVI a point of reference that would be immeasurable help in his ongoing quest for musical education. At the very least, we would no longer have to listen to his perpetual dissection of $20.00 computer speakers.

The challenge has been issued. Who among you is man (or woman) enough to step forward?

P.S. Don't tell the guys at my gun club about this.
