Surround Sound/Home Theatre Bargains

[musha]

Went to a place in Durbanville yesterday, e-piphany, and tested the Polkaudio entry set.
Very nice looking, sound quality is great for the price.

Polk Audio TSi-300 (R3400)
Polk Audio CS-10 (R1490)
Polk Audio TSi-100 (R1700) - Total: R6590 (special at e-piphany)

The 2 'better' fronts you can get the TSi-400's for R4700

If you are in CPT area they are in High Street, Durbanville (parallel to Durban road)

They have a nice dark, sound proof TEST room where you can test anything. They also sell HD 3D Projectors, TV's etc.

Quick question guys. As this is related I'm posting it in this thread.

Where can you get reasonably priced rear speaker mounts and front speaker stands from...? Thoughts...?

?

AVSA magazine still have wonderful classified ads. Picked up a pair of Quad ESL9089's for R 12k. Also worth a visit is AV Forums, not so much the classifieds but the dealer specials, see http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php?board=16.0. Just got a new Kef IQ6i centre speaker for R 2.2k. This unit is $499 in the US

I picked R50,000.00+ audio for R12,000.00 and my own set of speakers.

Though for stands/mounts - they'll generally have the more expensive branded type, if you find them. I always thought Hi Fi Corp did the smaller stands? Otherwise flea markets?

I'm looking to buy a surround sound system, one important factor is I want wireless rear speakers. Any suggestions on which system ? My budget is 10k.

no posts in 6 months, lets get back on track.

For those wanting to spend between 2 and 3 grand, these are old range but worth it for entry level receivers.

Also the old range but the Sony ES range is awesome from what I believe.

I know this is the bargain box but I need some advice. I have one of the sony STR-K1500 systems and would like to replace the receiver. Its time for a new one . I would like it to do HDMI audio processing but not a deal breaker . Want to plug in HP Proliant/XBMC via HDMI. And also best suited for that speaker set. Budget about R4K if possible.
Any suggestions appreciated

[randomwalsh]

i dont know. i looked for a phone number but only email address...

[MR.C]

I filled in the form to let me know when stocks are in. Let's see when the mail comes.
I think it definitely is a mistake.

[IceQB]

Will do so as well. Def a mistake!

Yeah buying second hand can get you some really great kit at stupid prices and 99% of the time the stuff has been looked after really well.
