First Ever Setup! (Small Story time)
Small Story time:
I posted eight days ago in this sub about identifying these speakers i found jogging in my gf's neighborhood. That's when I learned what 'white van specials' were haha. Their bases were moldy, they needed refoaming, and considering they were knock-offs-maybe they weren't worth my time but I fixed them up anyway. And I'm so glad I did. Paired with this Onkyo Tx-35 amp that I also got with the speakers they sound surprisingly great!! I have a decent ear for speakers; being a dj I've played in quite a few audio systems in many different spaces so for causal listening this setup is awesome 😄
I was a little worried because when I first started playing out of them the two tweeters and one of the small woofers sounded horrible (crackling and static) and the volume knob appeared to have an issue with a failing potentiometer but after a few minutes it seems like the old parts just needed some warming up😅
I shied away from passive speakers with my mobile djing cause it seemed overcomplicated but now I think I'll look to them more in the future for my business and my personal setups cause I feel like I could get some great deals/discounts since active ones are more convenient.
I'm 20 years old and in college and I feel like I just found a new hobby for the rest of my life lol, it was satisfying repairing these and such a rush when I started to hear them play good music. I'll prob be back in this sub when I start to play around with cassettes bc a onkyo TA-2026 tape deck also came with the lot.
LMK if you guys have any tips for someone getting into this for the first time or thoughts on my system!
