When 3-D Printed Speakers Can be This Good!
These 3-D printed speakers may look like a lifestyle statement. But, look closely, the open-baffled tweeter and the ported midrange speaker are inspired by Lawrence Dickie’s designs and has an expansion chamber, similar to that of a motorcycle. The expansion chamber is designed to increase the ‘back pressure’ off the driver unit – these are […]
Should I Throw Away My Apple TV with Optical Out?
Apple has an uncanny way of stripping away ports and features that many music lovers (audiophiles?) deem useful. Remember, the ever-loved 3.5mm jack? Well, even before that, Apple made the decision to remove the optical out from it’s Apple TV hardware. If you still have the 2nd generation Apple TV that’s functional, don’t throw that […]

What can you do with old stereo speakers?
Question: WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH OLD STEREO SPEAKERS?
The obvious question is, “are they working?”
If yes, move them over to your kitchen or bedroom and power them with a used amp like the Cambridge Audio AM10 or Cambridge Audio SR10. You can get a number of good amplifiers for cheap in the used market. Of course, it depends on which city are you in and the availability of good, used gears at reasonable prices.
If the speakers not working, move them into the bookshelf (if you have one) and stack the books around these speakers. Some day, these will be super vintage with all the books around to be worthy of a superb photograph that you can post on Instagram.
I have come across many music lovers that underestimate good old speakers – maybe, they want something new age, or they have just moved over to earphones.
Do you have old stereo speakers? Send me a pic and I’ll append them to this post with an attribution to you. Also, do write a note on how you are using them – functional, decorative, etc.
Original question on Quora.
