Khruangbin33 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Open invite to merge this with the "Things to Listen to While Drunk on BO" thread...but here's the equipment angle. Does anyone here have a sweet stereo setup? Thinking about ditching my 2000's era 5.1 stuff and buying some restored vintage equipment for a 2.1 setup. Or, after 10 years and 1500+ hours of jet noise and another 10-20 to go, should I even bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herkdrvr Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) If you specifically want restored vintage equipment, then take that route. Otherwise, keep your 5.1 gear & change the applicable outputs to 2.1 for the listening scenarios where you prefer 2.1.

SurelySerious Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 There’s also plenty of new 2.1 type equipment out there. With enough research you can pretty much do whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntledemployee Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Keep the receiver unless you don't like it, and just get a pair of quality floor/bookshelf speakers. Don't really need a sub if you got decent woofers. Just ask my neighbors. If you want to impress your friends with $$$$, just get a set of the revitalized JBL L100. About $2K each. If you want vintage, a great source is goodwill.com as they auction off all the best donated stuff. I got a 2nd Sony receiver for the garage for under $25. Some get speakers off there as the crossovers are great and refurb them with replacement speakers.

I recently acquired a restored vintage receiver and had it in my living room for 2 months before I got vetoed by the wife due to no remote control. It now resides in the bedroom.
