Doggie Howser Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I am not familiar with the rest of the stuff, but I'd keep the B&W speakers. ps how come got woofer and subwoofer one??

I've only seen all the stuff once. A subwoofer is a subwoofer right? I'm not a bass nut, so I'd try the Yamaha sub first. Thanks for the input. So the projector is not worth keeping eh?

Thanks for the input. So the projector is not worth keeping eh? Vidikron is a pretty high end expensive brand. I just not familiar with it.. dunno specs etc. But the thing is that new higher spec projectors appear every 6-12 months, it is hard to say how good an older projector is. If you are on a budget, and the bulb life is still usable, why not keep it first and see if it really needs upgrading. Ditto with the other gear ps I think AL24 is a processing system in higher end Denon amps. The amp itself is probably called something else.. AVR-xx/AVC-xx etc pps no surround speakers??
kvanar Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 would u consider selling any of the items? i'm particularly interested in the sigma av processor... do u hv more details on it like the precise brand and model number?

FookLai Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 yup... I second that, triad sub is very decent subs... In fact I am using one myself now and very satisfied with it....
suntzu Posted December 14, 2006 Author Posted December 14, 2006 Thanks guys for all the replies. I've just gone to see the equipment. the projector is massive but is really old. Its got connections for vcr! no component, much less hdmi. the b&w speakers look great, also the triad sub. Will look into the sigma a/v processor. what does that do? Looks like I might have to buy a new projector and screen. I'm really lazy to set all of it up though. thanks again everyone.
