New member Username: Techno_kingHampshire, IL United States Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-10 | I recently received an onkyo tx-sv 525 a/v receiver. I understand it's more designed for home theater scenarios but since it was free i figured i'd take it and use it as a stereo. Unfortunately I do not have speakers for it. Basically a friend bought a new receiver and just gave me the old one. Whats a decent pair of speakers for around $300 that would sound good with this receiver? |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14929 Registered: Dec-04 | What size is the listening space, and can you bring the speakers out into the room, space wise? Is the speaker location dictated by space/compromise? |

New member Username: Techno_kingHampshire, IL United States Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-10 | The room is actually just an empty storage space in a barn, me and a couple buddies just hang out and throw parties in it. it's an all wood barn, dont know how much affect that can actually have and its about 40X40X25. we listen to pretty much anything but a mojority is spread out between some rap, techno, and rock. |

|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3826 Registered: Feb-07 | If you guys are just using it to crank tunes while partying in the barn the speakers and sub will be fine. |
|

New member Username: Techno_kingHampshire, IL United States Post Number: 8 Registered: Apr-10 | now with those vegas will i need a separate amp or will the receiver be able to handle the power requirements? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14933 Registered: Dec-04 | The receiver will be fine. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3839 Registered: Feb-07 | As Nuck would say, you could drive them with a potato. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14934 Registered: Dec-04 | I took that from JV. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 14823 Registered: May-04 | . And here all this time I've been looking for that potato. Now I know where it disappeared to. |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 14938 Registered: Dec-04 | Any CV speaker rated above 95Db should do. They play loud. What JBL speakers play really loud too? |
|
