Home Theater stuff FS - Harmon Kardon, Sony, Pioneer, Philips, KLH

This is a combination of my wife and I both liking electronics, both owning seperate homes at one time, and upgrading to bigger/better stuff. We really need to lighten the collection...a LOT. Low ballers need not respond – I want to sell, but I am not giving this stuff away.

 

Harmon Kardon AVR-235: Was my main surround unit for a couple of years, just recently replaced with an even better Harmon Kardon. I love it, works flawlessly. I will keep it before even considering a low-ball offer.

 

Specs: 7.1 Channel, 50W x 7 (and you can crank it up without hearing distortion), DTS-ES, Dolby Digital EX, Logic 7, Component Video switching, and your standard list of features. Remote is MIA, but I have a universal that will do all of the day-to-day stuff, and everything can be setup via the front panel (speaker distances, crossover points, speaker size/sound levels, etc.

Sony STR-DE825: This unit is what the AVR I am selling replaced. I used it for years, and was an awesome receiver. Sound isn’t quite as good as the AVR, but there is a reason the AVR is a lot more expensive.

Specs: 5.1 channel, 100wx5, Dolby Digital, composite video switching, optical inputs/output. Remote is pretty cool with this unit as well. The power button on the unit is broken (I’ve tried repairing it, the plastic is broke); you can either stick your finger in the hole to power it up, or simply use the remote. Lots of sound fields to play with, you can set speaker sizes/distances, etc. Has barely been used the past couple of years.

Philips HTS3151D Surround Sound system w/ DVD: This thing is in its box (which I could never get to fit back into right) and was only used a few times. Was a Black Friday purchase as a 2nd room unit, and I never really used it. Sounds pretty good for a mini-system.

Specs: 5.1 surround, 300W, iPod Dock (works great), DivX certified, MP3 Line-In

Price: $100 I have researched this price a lot; cheapest I have found is a dude selling refurbs for $117 shipped, but his ratings have shown his refurbs to be hit-and-miss. Otherwise, they have all been more expensive yet, or are damaged/missing items. This unit is mint.

KLH Speakers: These are older-school, and I am willing to separate. The large units are 4-ways, KLH 9154, with 15” subs. The bookshelves are 3-ways, 6.5” woofer, and also come with wall-mounts (had them wall mounted for years). The center channel is the “Platinum” series, KLH 941. I am actually still using that speaker in my current home theater until I can find a good deal on a Yamaha NS-C444 center channel. They all honestly sound a lot better than you would think a lower-brand speaker would sound. All work great, a few nicks and such, but still presentable.

How would you compare the Phillips to the Pioneer? Is it worth the extra money?

The Pioneer is a nicer unit. The Pioneer is more of a receiver + DVD + surround speakers where the Phillips is more of an integrated all-in-one unit with surround speakers. But that's also why the Pioneer is more expensive.....

When I was in high school my Dad used to use those KLH speakers...they sound great! I may have stolen one of the 15's a few times and put it in the back of my nissan pulsar it fit great and bumped... :)

 

Great speakers.

And these were made well after you were out of high school.

What are you looking for out of the HK?

$235. We started using it again with the downstairs TV for my wife to watch while on her treadmill, so I have no big motivation to get rid of it.

 

Looking to trade anything for the Pioneer?

I'm always willing to trade...what do you have to trade?
