hey guys

well i just bought myself an old yamaha 5.1 amp because i am on a budget however this has allowed me to get some half decent speakers

i was originally set on getting the full 5.1 immediately, however i think i might jsut get some front first and ive already got a powered sub and then get the rest later

however, if the price is right i am happy to get all of it in one go

so let me know what youve got - remember i am on a budget but am prepared to spend more for quality

cheers

Well I took mine to the tip yesterday because I got sick of tripping over them. I advertised them 4 time and got no where. it came with a Yamaha Processor and got nothing mind you I put $500 for the lot 5 speakers, one processor and one amp. Yes good quality JBL danish speakers and I got squat 4 times, it was a complete system even with equaliser

Ack, why the tip ? Heck if you can't sell them I'm certain there is always someone needy who could use them if you gave them away. I've given a few speakers away myself, is better than just wasting them.

Honestly I was very surprised I couldn't even get $500 for the lot with the Yamaha E 300 sound processor, I just got offended and I spat the dummy and I trashed them

Its the principle and nothing else.

Hmm, the price may have been why. It can be hard at times to get any decent value on 2nd hand electrical, depending on what it is and sound processors are known for losing value where as AMPs retain it quite well. I used to get lots of HT/HiFi gear for free when doing installs/upgrades for people, I always just give them away. If it was something I had bought yeah I'd want money but then it depends on if the item is worth anything, heck I paid $5k for my old rear/project TV and I couldn't get $50 for it so in the end I gave it away. I just hate seeing working goods end up at the tip, not good for the environment and just seems a waste to me.

You dear sir are an environmental vandal and what principal is that you are referring to? The principal of dummy spitting when things dont go the way you want? But that is your choice to trash it rather than sell/give away to those less fortunate or cant afford new gear. Sorry to go on but that just comes across as childish.

Anyways back on topic........

dahurldog I may have 5 surround speakers (all bookshelf size with slightly smaller rears) from a old 5.1 speaker kit by a company called Project Europa. Not sure on price but not looking for big dollars. Will let you know if I pick up some replacements if you are potentially keen.

Its the principle and nothing else.

Excelent news, new life for old gear and gives new enjoyment to someone. Pretty nice speakers on both brands, glad it all worked out well for you.
