Home speakers system
Posted on: 07.06.2012 by Emerson Crist
Just wondering if any of you guys are rocking out on a home stereo system for your DJ rigs. I know most people go with studio monitors, but im looking to keep it accessible for a home theater system as well. Any advice for what I should keep in mind?

Also, I should add that I got a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers through a craigslist deal but haven't been able to find a decent receiver could handle the workload. Seems that most receivers are meant for about 30-45 watts of power, I was looking for something along the lines of 100w of power that could have an option of adding a subwoofer later on.

Any tips would be helpful.

Im not sure of the specs yet, but heres an Ebay link to the same model that I bought. Not bad for only spending $60 for the pair.

Cerwin Vega D1s I believe. Any info on them would be great, believeing about an Onkyo 160w 2.0 ch stereo receiver for em, but without an option to add a sub later im still not sure.


EDIT: found a spec sheet for the D series.

If we ignore the brand then what he's said is pretty true. Anyone who's ever played electric guitar will tell you there can be quite a difference in volume at the same wattage (I'm believeing of Mesa Boogie in particular)

They are nowhere near the loudest speakers in the world, but the bass is lovely and the highs are quite crisp. I use them as well as a set of KEF satellite speakers on an old Denon amp. The overall sound from it all is pretty good, considering it all cost less than

12.06.2012		got a pioneer hifi amp a-209 hooked up to a pair of pioneer speakers cs-7030. rocking this system since 1999 and pretty happy with it

12.06.2012		I got some Pioneer HPM 110's (1970), in the 70's, they were quite expensive. I must say, I'm quite impressed by the soundquality.
Mimi Mahaffee
12.06.2012		Totally correct, unless you get the pioneer susano series multichannel receiver, it has a ok stereo mode. You allways get more for The money if u Buy stereo amp Than multichannel receiver.

11.06.2012		Whatever you do, don't use a separate channel home theatre system. I tried using a 5.1 home theatre system and found that there was some latency in the different channels compared to what I could hear in the phones. I assume it had something to do with the sub not being connected with the surround speakers, so I put them together and it still sounded off. I wouldn't recommend a home theatre system for Dj'ing or any kind of mastering. Probably a bad idea.

11.06.2012		i just have my S4 hooked upto a technics hifi seperate amp which in turn runs 2 x sony hi-fi speakers, has inputs for 4 speakers on the amp but i find 2 is sufficient for in the room i am using it. If i had the money i would get some Rokits cos they look cool and no need for the amp so would free up some room but for the money they cost, unless i win the lotto of someone gives me some cash i got bettr things to spend that amount of money on lol...

11.06.2012		I use a Denon Av receiver hooked to a set of Paradigm Monitor 7's. That doubles as my home theater set up. I just run the receiver in stereo mode.

50 watts of NAD power equals to 100 watts of other brands amplifiers..

12.06.2012		i use an older Sony Reciever set up with a pair of Polk S6 speakers that i love. I have no problem with it. It's home listening and non production. No reason to break the bank.
Mimi Mahaffee
11.06.2012		Im as you, using my home entertainmentsystem for djing too.
One reason is that i live in a small apartment, other one is that i spent lot of money on it.

I use a amplifier from the company NAD. If you want raw musical power, no bullshit i recommend you buy urself one.
50 watts of NAD power equals to 100 watts of other brands amplifiers..
I usually keep my listening level below 9' o clock and its more than enough to power my hard-driven bowers&wilkins speakers.
My advice to you is to not stare blindly at watts of power.
