I wish I knew something about speakers because I'd like to get some. Too bad my budget is basically nothing right now. I don't even know where to start.

PSB Alpha 1, Pioneer SP-BS22-LR, there are other decent budget speakers.
Thanks, I dig the Pioneer one. Adding that to my amazon wish list for later. I'd need a receiver too, and 2 of those. We're already talking $500+. I do have a polk audio subwoofer PSW10 and it has speaker out connections. No idea if it's any good or not but maybe it could make it so I don't need a receiver yet.

EDIT: The problem is my tv only has optical out and the sub only has RCA in.

Back in my Navy days, when I was young and foolish and would have spent more on a stereo system than a car, I would regularly visit the base exchange and drool over these:



Huge, 5' 3" floor-standing speakers.

Fortunately(?) I never managed to have enough to buy them.

I ended up with a pair of Cerwin-Vegas with 15" woofers and horn tweeters & midrange. Loud enough to get the shore patrol up to the barracks at 2 AM.



They came in a black laminate case that has held up pretty well after being dragged around from place to place over the last 25 years.

Still have them (part of the 7.1 system).

the base exchange sold SDAs?

I have the progenitor of those, the 10A. bought them about 10yrs ago for very cheap, in original boxes. they are now in my attic, back in their original boxes.

Cerwin-Vega: I found a great pair of Cizek speakers (mostly a regarded local brand) that have CV drivers. they are great, especially for the $20 I paid.

The Air Force Exchange on Hickam AFB did in the late eighties. I was in the Navy, but we could shop there, too.

A lot of the guys bought stuff in Japan on WestPACs.

Nakamichi Dragons were really popular bring backs then.

Those were the days... My cousin bought me a BX-2 in japan for about half what they cost here (I was lucky to afford even that), but the dragon was so cool. kj.
