Trouble Maker Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 EMP Tek EF50T 5.1 speaker set. $500 OBO Great speaker set that will easily fill up all but the largest rooms. EMP Tek is a 'daughter' company RBH, a well know, well renowned speaker maker based out of Canada. They are a great value for the money. I used these at our old apartment but never set them back up at our house since we decided to go with a soundbar setup. If we ever do a full setup again, I will do some nice built in speakers in the walls for ascetics or I would just keep these for using them down the road. http://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/emp-tek-ef50-speaker-system http://emptek.com/ef50t.php https://plus.google.com/photos/115959979133200355671/albums/6098021154687455873 Onkyo TX-SR606 $50 OBO Something happened to the HDMI daughter board, it's a common problem. I attempted to replace a few caps per info I found online, but it didn't fix the issue for me. All non-HDMI related functions work 100%, stereo switching, video switching for non-HDMI sources. So this can be used as a receiver, amp, garage amp. https://plus.google.com/photos/115959979133200355671/albums/6098021665692598801 Onkyo TX-DS575 $25 OBO Something happened to the DSP chip. If you use this as a stereo switch or direct 5.1 input, it works fine. But if you try to do anything DSP related; sound modes or I think even bass management it shuts off. Amp section works 100%. So this can be used as a receiver, amp, garage amp. https://plus.google.com/photos/115959979133200355671/albums/6098021595216079457 Olympus PRO LX5s $50 OBO Great sounding little speaker, but can use a sub due to their size. https://plus.google.com/photos/115959979133200355671/albums/6098021562754451249 Speaker Stands $20 OBO Adjustable from about 24"-38". Plate the speaker sits on is 4"x4". Works great for a small speaker like a surround, I used them with the Olympus speakers https://plus.google.com/photos/115959979133200355671/albums/6098022691256666449 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 So optical cable connection and coaxial digital cable connections work fine? If so i may be interested. Bottom one (575) no, DSP chip is bad. Only analog works. Top one (606), IIRC yes. As far as I know and remember yes, only HDMI is no good. I think that's how I had it hooked up last time I used it, with analog components for video and some sort of digital (coax or optical) for audio. But it's been 3 years since I had this setup in the old apartment. I did check to make sure it was still working, but only by hooking up some analog. I'll try to check it tonight. HDMI daughter board is a common issue on these things. FYI, I linked those picture for the 606 wrong, and put the picture of the 575 for both. 606 is this one http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=TX-SR606&class=Receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's yours assuming the 2000GT guy was talking about the 606, which I think he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top one (606), IIRC yes. I'll try to check it tonight. 606 confirmed working with digital optical out from the TV to receiver, all 7 channels. Unfortunately I have nothing on hand with digital coax, but I'm pretty sure it would be the same result. Unfortunately it looks like the volume hard knob on the receiver is a little wonky, doesn't work all that well. But the remote works 100% and changes the volume fine.
