Sgt. Pepper Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Today is gonna be New Used Sub Woofer Day. Bought a used Polk Audio 8" powered sub. Its nothing like what Steve Ford has, but it will do. I'm gonna test it out on Yes - Close To The Edge in 5.1 surround sound. Then King Crimson - Discipline, and then one of the 50th Anniversary Beatles Giles Martin Remix's in 5.1. Maybe Abbey Road. Its also New Used Vinyl Day. I got Gerry Rafferty - Night Owl . I think it was $5. I love City To City and have that on vinyl as well. A few days ago in a store for $5 each I got ELO - Out The Blue, ELO - Discovery and Kansas - Song For America on vinyl. Discovery and Song were damn near mint. Out Of The Blue, the cover is a little scared, but the vinyl was clean. Edited February 25, 2022 by Sgt.

Whitefang Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Do you have an outlet nearby where you can get used vinyl? Thrift shops are the only place 'round my vicinity that I know of. Polk does (did?) make some excellent audio speakers, so I don't think you'll be disappointed. I almost went with Polk in late '90's, but found a better deal on Miller & Kreisal.

With new world order he decided to close and sold all his stuff to a store in Richmond. I go to a place called 2nd And Charles. They have a selection of new and used and I can usually find one or two things that interest me. The best store around here now is in Virginia Beach. I forget the name. VB and Richmond are both about an hour away. One I have to deal with tunnel traffic by the Navy base and the other is maybe a 15 minute longer drive. I have Polks in my Man-Cave. 2 tower speakers and 2 bookshelf monitors That system is Denon and was from the late 80's before Surround Sound was out and 100% stereo. In the bedroom where the Surround Sound is, I have a mix of Polk and Klipsch. The front speakers are Klipsch book shelf monitors, and rear speakers are bookshelf Polks. The sub and center speaker are Polk. My Polk Towers I got right before the first Persian Gulf War and the Denon stuff I bought before and after the war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 A subwoofer really helps round out a system, hope it works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Both arrived. The grill is mangled and I threw it away. The Gerry LP sleeve is in okay shape and the vinyl is clean. The sub goes boom as it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 A like for vinyl. The stuff of life itself. Discogs is generally good if a bit expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the KC double disc sets with 5.1. Maybe Red next or Larks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
