Hi guys. (I deleted my thread)

So I recently came across an old pair of these pioneer SE-50s with adjustable tweeters and volume on each side.

It has some issues with balance (the right ear sort of fades in and out) and it isn't in the best cosmetic shape but it was only five dollars. Was it a good buy? Is it worth the effort to fix up?

I'm using a matching pioneer sx-434 by the way. My sansui 771 has also been acting up with balance issues.

Well, they usually pump bass because that's what I tend to listen to. They pretty much pump whatever you'd want them to because they have a flat frequency response and are true to how the musician wanted his/her music to be heard (unlike op's pic, which are only good at bass at the cost of drowning everything else out.)

If your layout isn't set up correctly, it won't add songs to the playlist without you drag-dropping it from Windows Explorer.

Display>Default User Interface>Enable layout editing mode [✓]

Now you can right-click on the layout elements and costumize. If you haven't set it up yet then just cut (remove) every element, add a Splitter (left/right), then add a "Media Library Viewer" (album list) and a "Playlist Renderer". Now by selecting an entry on your media library viewer it should automatically send songs to your playlist to be displayed on the playlist renderer.
