Description

I think this system gives me the most joy as it was all put together from Thrift shop purchases. I can blast my music while I sort laundry or play sultry jazz while I drift off to sleep. It may not be the "most" resolving but it is a very pleasing sound. Love, love, love it!

    • Yamaha R-S300 integrated amp & receiver
    Bargain find at a local thrift store at $35. I couldn't resist.
    • Sony BDP-S370 blue ray/ DVD/ CD player
    This cost me a whopping $7. I bought one for my son also.
    • JBL S38 speakers
    $25 bargain at our local thrift store. I love, love, love these speakers. They can rock and roll or play quiet night-time music. I feel like a teenager again with my bedtime music ritual.
    • DIY Speaker Stands
    The wood and stain cost almost as much as they music system they support.
    • Aiwa Powered subwoofer
    $5 bargain. I have never had a subwoofer before, so this was a splurge (ha). I have the volume turned waaay down, but that little bit of body in the sound makes quite a difference. Magic!

Nice collection of scores, especially those speakers! It's always hard to thrift store speakers without finger dents in the drivers.

Finding 2nd hand hifi gets addicting... I once found a 4ch Adcom for $10! Happy hunting!
