Kenwood KA9100 amplifier mint condition (HooHa This Thing Is Great!!!) - $100 from local classifieds

Dahlquist DQM 905 speakers (not as good as the Thiel CS 3.6s, but the second best speakers I own. - $50 from local classifieds.

JVC XL 504 CD changer - $10.00 garage sale.

Denon Digital Tuner - $15.00 (Good Will)

Kenwood SW300 subwoofer with Partsexpress Titanic 10" woofer. Cost $300 new, total loss after it blew up in my HT system - Dream Works Time Machine was too much for it - upgraded the remains with a Titanic 10" and it is a great sub. Driver was about $80.00

This system, all $255.00 of it is as good as any 2 channel system I've ever heard, except for my 2 channel tubie.

Snell Type K/II ...msrp $500 (easily found for < $200 now)

I'd love to get a Rotel RDV-1040 to add to the bedroom at some point, and sell/give away that old Panasonic. The Snell speakers still sound wonderful at low volumes, but need to have the foam surrounds replaced if I want to play them at any volume. (I've had them for nearly 15 years now!)

You may notice no mention of TV's...sad to say, they're not worth mentioning at this point. Hopefully later this year, or early next year we'll be getting a nice big Hi-Def in the living room, and a small flat LCD to wall mount in the bedroom. The nice thing is that the prices keep falling, and falling the longer I put it off.

2 x 6 how do you like the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb CDP? I've read a lot about it and it seems like an interesting unit.
