Hi, I am pretty new to the HT scene, but I have been doing research and sorts, so I am not totally clueless. Anyway, I'm moving into a new home soon, and plan to get a new receiver. Right now I have some old speakers that my parents bought about 16 years ago, but they are working but I have almost no idea of their specs.
I only have 4 speakers, 2 large fronts from Pioneer, model is S55-T, they are 6 ohm, 120W max 30W rated. I want to know if they are 2 way or 3 way. I don't really know how to remove the mesh/grille, but shining a light inside i can see 3 thingies. the top and bottom are woofers, because they move when i push them with my finger, and the middle one doesn't move, since it's got some sort of grill or cover on it. It'd also be great if i could get some feedback from people who have heard or own these.
For the rear speakers, they are Advent Mini's, and from what I've seen online, they are 2 way, have 5.25" woofers, a tweeter and is ported. They are bookshelf speakers i believe, but what I wanna know is the ohm rating for them, since it doesn't say.
Now, do you think that I should keep these speakers and continue to use them with my new receiver, or get new stuff entirely? If i keep them, I will be adding a center speaker and a sub to complete the surround system.
Thanks!
