OK, so your Pyle PFA200 puts out 60W maximum total power. That's 30 peak per channel, which is probably about 21W RMS into (hopefully) 8 ohms. Half that if they rated it at 4 ohms. A quarter that if they rated it at 2 ohms (likely). So it could be (probably is) as little as a 5W amp. Enough...

How did a $362 TV get into an article for TVs under $250?

Is there no sound at all, or is it super duper quiet? If the latter, it's probably set to 'digital out', instead of analog. What's worse is that Realtek tends to hide settings they think you're not using. So, what you need to do is check first. See if it's set to digital out or analog. If...

What's your budget? I could point you to a $260,000 USD A/V system. "reasonable" is relative. Set a budget and we'll see what we can find.

What you're looking for is 6W RMS into 6Ω. Or 9W RMS into 4Ω, or 4.5W RMS into 8Ω. If it does not say RMS, it's probably peak power - which is RMS X 1.414. So if it does not specify RMS, you need to divide the rating by 1.4 to get the right power level. The last thing you want to do is get an...

Don't use MP3 format - or any other lossy format, for that matter. While it would be nice to edit some of the music before putting it on CD, you mentioned you're not interested in that kind of stuff. So your best bet would be an all-at-once unit. What's your budget? There's units available...

I never liked hooking speakers directly to a computer due to the draw on the power supply. I've always preferred to go through a separate stereo system. That being said, let's assume you mean you have the speakers, but no separate amplifier. I'm going to further assume your speakers use...

On second thought, I think I misunderstood what you want. It's not entirely clear whether you want to hook your PC, stereo, or both to google home mini via bluetooth to use as a remote speaker. If you want to turn your google home mini into a remote speaker, then you're looking at a whole...

The resolution of a standard DVD is 720x480 (480i). The resolution of a standard Bluray AND HD-DVD is 1920 x 1080 (1080i). Meanwhile.... The maximum resolution that HDMI V1.0 can manage is 1920 x 1200 (1080p) Meaning, as long as your TV can manage the 1080i standard, you should have no quality...

First, let's make sure I understand the problem. You have a stereo amplifier with an RCA input. And you need a bluetooth receiver with an RCA output to connect the two. This can be done, but.... Google home will not be able to control the amplifier. Meaning, it can't control the volume, turn...

Most non apple mp3 players already have the option for simple data storage. Whether they be spinning drives or flash drives, you still need the controller card circuitry. A better bet would be a simple raspberry pi with a $14 SD card. Or just tear into an old laptop for a hdd. Robots...

Have you tried a different set of speakers? Could be the speakers. If you have no other set of speakers, plug them into another radio/stereo.

Try using a vacuum hose attachment - the smaller hose the better.
