Hello folks. New here, and wanted to tell you about my good fortune.
My older friend called me the other day.
Five or six years ago he bought a bunch of gear from Crutchfield, and got stiffed for the free Polk Audio subwoofer. Anway, he said a lot of things were going on in his life. He takes care of a good friend of his with Alzheimers. He said he never uses his stuff anymore. He hardly even turns on the tv. The apartment building he lives in, is getting new carpet. He needs all the stuff moved. He said if I'd come get it all, I could have it! He said I'd be doing him a huge favor to get it. Besides he wanted it all to go to a good home, where it would be appreciated. He knew I'd appreciate it.
I'll list all the stuff below. Some pretty decent stuff!

Denon AVR-2803
Denon DVD-2200 universal player
Panasonic DMR-E80HP dvd recorder w/80 gig hard drive
2 Polk Audio LSi9 speakers
1 Polk Audio LSiC center speaker
3 sm. JVC speakers (from earlier HTIB)
1 JVC subwoofer (also from earlier HTIB)
all the remotes and manuals (except for Panny manual. He's looking for it)
He even gave me a handful of DVD-A and SACD discs, he couldn't play anymore.
The cables, speaker wire, and some blank cds.

Pretty nice haul, huh? Especially for Free. It's been like Christmas again.
I especially like the LSi9 speakers, and LSiC center.
Samsung HL61A750 LED DLP
Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver
Oppo BDP-83 blu ray player
Polk Audio LSi9 front speakers
Polk Audio LSiC center speaker
Sony SS-MB100H rear speakers
SVS PC12-NSD powered subwoofer
Pioneer PL-514 turntable
Logitech Harmony 628 Universal Remote

    Sorry..........not for sale. I need them. My Allisons I was using, have the foam falling apart. It's going to be a little while before I can fix them. I like the LSi9s a lot also. Now the three front speakers match.

    The Denon receiver, I gave to my stepfather to use. I took the JVC receiver he was using (it's mine anyhow), and am going to setup a system in the bedroom. My wife will like being able to use it, when I'm watching an action movie. :)
