I'm guessing these are an "if I have to ask how much" type speaker right?
Yeah same here. I've seen speakers in this style before but I just think the light sycamore wood looks really cool on them. Helps that this style of wood finish is kinda coming back into style right now too. No idea about the speakers or brand at all, except for the fact that "Leanore" is a pretty funny name for a speaker.

Thanks for asking. They are $16,000 USD pair...
Yeah these are used at one of my locals for $6250 USD, no idea what year.
A lot of money but also a price where a lot of bigger brands can end up at. I was expecting Wilson kinda money.
The store I bought my PL at has recently signed a deal to sell Davone speakers and has been hitting the promo trail for them. No idea what they sound like but I could definitely have a pair of these in my living room!

They are gorgeous in person.
Whaddup nerds, got a receiver/amplifier question here.
A few years ago I bought a Onkyo 9050 after getting advice from the old place. It works and sounds great.
HOWEVER, I use the same system for both playing records and watching movies and TV. Increasingly audio mixes are all 5.1, which doesn't work great with a stereo system. Specifically the lack of a center channel make a lot of dialog really hard to hear.
Is there a receiver that that would be good for both? Basically one where I could play in stereo for playing records, but also act as a receiver for everything else.
Thnx bros.

Plenty of decent-sounding 5.1 amplifiers that would do the job. What sort of money are you looking to spend?
Pretty much any AVR from the past two decades would work for 5.1 and music. Yamaha make nice reasonably priced AVRs that will do music and 5.1 nicely. Of course you'll need to buy a centre speaker at the very least in order to take advantage of that. Obviously depends what you want to spend, and whether you have a phono stage or need an AVR that has an internal.

I dunno, Less than $500? I care how things sound but I’m never going to be an audiophile and value simplicity.
Yeah I have Elac debut speakers, would get a central that goes with that.
Currently have no pre amp.
It looks like a miniature model of a police station from like RoboCop 3. Whichever the futuristic one was...
Yeah personally I'd look for a Yamaha AVR with a phono stage.
