I guess I am an audophile in training and looking for some advice / wisdom on adding some surround sound to my current set up.
Right now I have a Pioneer Receiver VSX-D509S w/ these specs.
Amplifier Section
Continuous average power output of
100 watts* per channel, min., at 8
ohms, from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz with
no more than 0.2 %** total harmonic
distortion (front).
and I am using some old Bose Model 21 w/ 4-8 ohms impedence and 50 watts max. continuous power.
Right now I'm using these as my front left and right speakers , my tv as the center and would like to add in some surround speakers (hopefully on the smaller side to appease my wife) and eventually a subwoofer but as I'm trying to piece this together myself w/o having to by the whole system together at once I was wondering if anyone could help me in knowing what to look for say on Ebay in say the $100-$200 range.
I added all the specs cause to be honest I don't know what it all means and so when looking for speakers do I just want matching specs. ?
Last bit of info. I just bought a used Bose Acoustimas 3 series ii system off of ebay and couldn't get the satalites to work at all as surround and so partly I'm trying to figure out was it just cause they were the wrong speakers for this system or were they just busted. I sent them back.
Sorry for the novel but any help is greatly appreciated.
