Chris' Most recent set up.

P.S. So glad I've improved my system from an audiological point not just an aesthetic point! That said, I can't wait to get a tube amp!

The old STA 90

The Realistic STA 90. From what I can find it's a pretty good old receiver. It has intermittent issues with the tape one inputs but has benn cleaned inside and out. Sounds quite nice!!

Awesome setup! How you liking that m50-c60 combo? How do those KG 5.5's sounding? I've been wanting to get a pair for a while!
 
I love the M50. I still have to fix the light for the power button and at first was thinking I would need a more powerful amp but after cleaning the pots on the C60 and hooking up the Klipsch, I am in love. I know it isn't the best available but for the $150 I spent on the amp and pre amp and the $200 on the speakers I am positive I could have done no better for the price without a doubt! At high volume I get a popping from one of the woofers so it will need replaced when I find one but the sound is great! The speakers take a little getting used to as far as tonal adjustments when changing genres of music but I really enjoy their sound. I'm hoping to add another set of Klipsch around tax time (Maybe RF7IIs) to use with the Yamaha and the KM6s (KG5.5s) will be used in place of the Sansui sp1500s that my Onkyo is running now in my HT set up. I am very very happy with the sound of my Onkyos. I have one upstairs as well and I love them!
 
Updated pic.

Most recent set. Onkyo running the Vegas. Pretty happy with the combo. They sound nice even though it is an HT receiver. In stereo mode it sounds quite powerful. (This is the receiver that killed my infinity Sms or rather my misbehavior and Iron Maiden did..) The lows are fairly precise and the highs are clear yet not ear piercing or "tinny" and the mids sound better than what one might expect from a system with no EQ. Not up to par with many of the speakers members here have but they will do until better comes along.
The EQ that is run by the Yamaha will be replaced with a Yamaha EQ70 in the next few days and I will be adding a T70 tuner. Wanted to keep my two channel system full of Yamaha units but after acquiring a used Sony CDP-C601ES from dr*audio here at AK, it will be replacing my Yamaha CDC 502. It just sounds better. Besides, i need a new CD player in my bedroom system. Piece by piece on a shoe string budget I will advance, hahaha. :rockon:

Added the Sony CDP-C601ES, the T70 and the EQ70 today. Was going to replace the Pioneer CTW606 DR with a Yamaha KX330 but the pioneer has better specs and does sound better as well as being a dual deck. (Talk about a complicated Audition / Comparison! Center weighs a ton!) Now the bedroom Onkyo system gets a Yamaha CDC502 changer to replace the intermittently working Technics changer and a Yamaha deck!:music:
 
Upgraded the Yamaha M50 to an M60 for $100!:music: Sounds great and now I am running the Vegas and the Klipsch off the Yamaha and using the Onkyo in 5.1 instead of 7.1 with the Polks as my mains since I only use it for movies anyway. Loving it so far!!! Clear as a bell 6 houses down!!!:rockon::rockon::rockon:
 
Most recent changes...

Downstairs I've made a few changes. Will be moving in August and can't wait to set up in the new house with some new stands and racks. No more redneck entertainment center and no more cramped space... I just got the Yaqin MS20L It is running off of the ipod dock at the moment until my Luxman gets here. It is running through the Klipsch KM6s and I am really happy with the sound of that set up. The 2 channel SS set up is my Yamaha c60 and M60 with the eEQ70 and my SonyC601es cdp. Pioneer CTW606dr for cassettes and a Lab 400 for my vinyl.. The yamaha deck and tuner in the pics are not hooked up.. The Yamaha was running the Klipsch and the Vegas until tonight. Hopefully I can pic up a set of Heresys in the future and sell off the Vegas. (Just not what the ear likes). My surround is the Onkyo running the Polk monitors as mains the klh as a center and Infinity Primus as the rear surrounds with a velodyne 10 inch powered sub. Nothing amazing but adequate and on the right road.

Forgive the crappy pics. Space is cramped, lighting is awful...
