old_school_55 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi, my name is Pat and I just joined the Community. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you as I search for a nice pair of vintage Klipsch speakers for my recently revived living room system. I'll be checking out CL, as well as the Garage Sale here. Cheers! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted September 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2018 Welcome and take your time deciding. Digital tubes and vinyl CD's are the next "thing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_school_55 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks for all the welcomes... this sounds like a fun bunch! I'm located in San Jose, CA and my budget is roughly $200-300 +/- $50. I'm starting with 2 channels and may upgrade to 2.1 in the future. I saw a pair of KG 4.2 speakers on CL for $250 and wondered if that's a good price. I'm getting a hand-me-down Pioneer SX-780 receiver from a friend this weekend, so I'll hook that up to my current speakers and see how it sounds. And to answer Tarheel's question... it depends and it varies!! My vinyl collection is here at home and my CD collection is staying elsewhere until I decide to add a CD player to the home system. My budget doesn't allow for tubes at this time... Thanks again and look forward to more good info! Let me know if I should take this topic to a different forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
