I am planning to buy used speakers for 2.1 setup, need feedback whether they are any good. It will be 50:50 for movies and music with special emphasis on thumping bass.
1) Sony SS-D505AV. 100 watt R.M.S., 3 way with 8" woofer. Sourced info from the net- they are 1991 models (approx 20 yrs old) and came as a package with amp, cassette deck and tuner. The dealer has only the speakers. The dealer is quoting 3.5k for the pair, but i will bargain it down. No performance reviews on the net. Anyone can give info regarding music clarity and bass response, also any distortions at high volume. I want good mid range and bass since my present speaker lacks in that dept.
2) Onkyo SKW330-- 100watt R.M.S./ 8 ohm passive subwoofer (8" driver). Also part of some package but only has the sub with him. Is quoting 3.5k for it. Any feedback regarding low end response and output at high volumes.
I will be taking a demo before purchasing but i need feedback if it the right package for the price. My present speaker (Arphi) and sub (yamaha) are total crap. The Arphi (1982 model) does not have orginal drivers (Tweeter+woofer) since they went bust at high volume and were replaced with boltons. Anyway the original arphi drivers were also useless. The Yamaha sub bought 2 yrs back from U.S. are total crap, in fact i did not use it for 1 year because it sounds boomy/unnatural and distorts heavily at volume exceeding 40%. Did not have a demo since i ordered from U.S.
