just scored!!!

[ryan4blu]

got a massive speaker set up off craigslist for a guy not too far away. this is what i scored

pair of T500 cambridge soundworks towers ( both with power and slave subs built in)
one CSW MC500 center channel
4 CSW S300 surround speakers ( now i can do 7.1)

pretty stoked on these babies and all for $800. these speakers retailed for about $3500 new. granted these are all used but the guy was anal with his stuff and they are all in mint condition.

ordered some dayton speaker cables off amazon for them, hope they are everything ppl say about them.

sure here they are, picks are from his house. added them in my HT gallery pics, check them out. cant wait to hook them up. each tower has a 300 watt PS built in alond with a passive sub as well. this is like the mother of all finds for me. been looking for a while as i love CSW speakers. always have owned them and just love the set up

[slickooz]

found a denon 2908ci on clearance today at BB that i may pull the triiger on, not sure yet. it does not come with the remotes, calibration mic or manuals, but its $599 from $1199. may try and make an offer for it as is and see what they say?? think this receiver would crank up my system. who knows....

[ryan4blu]

well i picked up the speakers today and tried a few out, they rock of coarse!!

i managed to only try out the T500 towers for now upstairs in my dining room for music only. i have a day coming up that i will dedicate for my setup. the MC500 center is pretty tall and blocks about 3 inches of the lower portion of my tv, so i will have to make something work to raise the tv up a bit.

i also received my LED light bars today and will attached them on each tower on the back and one behind the top of my tv to give me some cool lighting during movie time or tv watching,. they are very cool and i bought them on this website link below

bought 3 20" led light bars. very cool
