thats the problem w/ modern audio equipment, unless you're talking about some SERIOUS gear, it really all ages like milk.

I'd prob put it up on CL for $500, expect to get $200 low balls.

Best thing would be to give it to some younger friend or family member whos just getting started out on their own. They'll appreciate it

I gave away a similar set up 7 years ago when I moved to Az, wish I kept it for the garage.

Years ago, I just took my shit to a pawn shop as I didn't want to deal with CL zombies. Got a few bucks to offset the cost of the upgrade and called it a day.

As nice as it is/was. I agree maybe in the 500 range.

Do you have a family member/ niece/nephew (good friend) who can use a nice set up for free😜😱. That way it stays in the family and you make someone happy 🤷🤷

I'm always on the hunt for old Onkyo stuff and stereo equipment in general...like from the 80's. In turn, I see a lot of newer stuff for sale.

Despite their name, the speakers are small, sub is small, I would list for $350 and hope to see $200-$250.

I have Onkyo home theater amps with more power and I can probably fetch $60-$80 for them. The market is flooded with Onkyo home theater gear.

Good luck with it :)

I had the 10inch sub. I’m surprised you consider that small for a home unit. It pumps pretty damn good.
That said. I couldn’t sell it to anybody.
That said. The minute I put it on our neighborhood site for free. It was gone. lol.

I'm at 150.00. LOL. but I'd expect you to get 500 on fb marketplace after a million "is this still available" and flakes..

I could probably go 200.00 if ya want.. just because I enjoy our Friday am talks. I am hoping that receiver has bluetooth? or we are more like 100 and going to 150.

I had some very nice DCM speakers that I was barely able to give them away, literally!
Those would make a great garage system.

Seems like everybody just gets the standard soundbar and weak ass sub anyMore.. lol. I do miss my big home theatre speakers but I’ll admit the soundbar sub thing is easy as shit to setup install etc and it doesn’t take half your living room

I think we’ve grown past our systems being part of the furniture. Also obviously the quality has improved greatly in smaller packages. No need for what the past was.
Now if I had a 10,000 sq ft house with a a theatre room I’d re think that.

We can't all be ballers like you. With that said I'll be over 👉 being poor🤣
Haven’t you got the memo to be poor on RW?

Tbh I’m having some problems with Sonos that are maddening for what I paid for the amps… it’s one of my tasks this week to deal with

Is the receiver model TX-NR656? Trying to read the number on front in your picture.

If so, it appears to have Bluetooth, AirPlay, WiFi, Ethernet, Chromecast? Has quite a few features, including phono input. That would certainly be perfect for a garage, young person at college, etc.

That’s how I read it, which would make it a 2016 era receiver.

I still enjoy a decent setup. I have a home theater setup with a sizable 3.1 setup (not really into the clutter of a 7.1 or 9.2 setup)

But I also use it for stereo listening also.

Years ago I purchased some floor speakers DCM Time Window 3's for over $2500. They were beyond awesome.

Owned them about 5 years and sold them for $200 each. Why did I sell them I just don't really remember but they took a ton of effort to sell.
Last 10+ years I 've had Polk floor speakers and they just dont have what those DCM's had.

I have a 7.1 system with a Yamaha receiver and Klipsch speakers. Sound quality is very good, much better than a sound bar. Definitely a Klipsch fan.

Im going the opposite direction - looking for a vintage console system with record player built in, to go behind a couch I have in my livingroom / music room! Looking for something in good shape. I plan to tap in to the signal and send it thru my distributed home audio and aeras where I have Sonos. But primarily - I wanna listed to vintage stuff on vintage gear, by the fireplace, with a bitchin glass of whiskey :cool:

This probably doesn't sound all that great, but I dig the style -

Might even go for a record player end-table deal like this!

Soundbar quality is junk.. but they are easy
I have an Onkyo 7.1 reciever and all Klipsch speakers and surround and Sub at home . Sounds great . But for our cabin I decided to go with the Klipsch Cinema 1200 Soundbar and suround with wireless Sub . The sound bar and wireless surrounds both have front firing and Dolby Atmos up firing . Sounds awesome . I have only owned Klipsch speakers for the last 30+ years .

I have owned a lot of Klipsch, Polk audio, Boston acoustics.. granted none of it was there absolutel top of the line stuff but their mid grade.. great equipment.

Little unknown fact the rdp office has a large receiver and klipsch speakers throughout for party nights.. lol. One night this summer got a little out of control and we must have damaged the receiver because it doesn’t go as loud as it used too anymore before distorting.. will be fixed shortly.
