I think the thread could be really useful for opinions on subs being necessary vs speakers being used or bought. Many are getting back into vinyl and are buying systems for this. I just did this very thing. I bought my son( a digital downloader and I mean 1000's) a Yamaha stereo reciever w/ Bluetooth, Audio-Technica At-lp60 SB turntable, speaker stands and a pair of Dayton B652 speakers, ( with Bose 201 series IV spares for testing ). What most newer people to this will read when reviewing speakers is they really either sound good and have enough bass or they really shine when a sub is added. This leads to well how do I hook a Sub up to a stereo reciever if my speakers need some help, there's no sub out (Yamaha even shows how on their web site. So as a newer member with little technical knowledge but loads of experience with equipment from Nakamici, Denon, Onkyo, Marantz, DCM, Pioneer, Integra.....I can see this thread going places if we start with what sounds good to us. I personally have DCM Time Frame mains with a DCM 16c center and DCM SATs with one of the Andrew Jones Pioneer sub. Sounds awesome but for vinyl my Marantz goes to Pure Direct and to my mains which are all it needs. So yea, I could see some interesting recommendations.
