Need QUICK replies on working system - owner says I can hear it.

I'm ONLY interested in the sub. Sell the rest for maybe $200 plus shipping?

Appears to be a decent late model entry level AVR - seen some on Amazon & ebay for $300.

Thanks for feedback, Tony

    Have to agree. That Denon is entry level, the sub nothing special, Sony towers? Wait for a sale and get the Pioneer towers for less than $200 if you want something cost effective. Then get a mid-level Marantz AVR and save for a "good" sub!

    I agree with cnh. The pio towers are IMO the best bang for your buck. I'd recommend svs or the like as far as sub's go. Why are you looking if I may ask?

    Consensus: Nope!. That said, unless the seller gets REALLY desperate, she started @ $400, I'll go w/felipe & cnh by waiting & $aving for a HSU or SVS.

    Since you asked, felipe. I'm not using the sub* in my sig* for HT just DJ work. My wife stumble across it on a FB yard sale site. I thought I could PU a powered sub "on the CHEAP" (~$50?) until I could ($) get what I want.
