Well I am at the point of no return I'm afraid. I was hopeful for things to be different but it did not happen that way. And I know have to sell most of my HT equipment. Reality has really kick me in the nuts and IT REALLY SUCKS.
TV
Samsung LCD 46" (model# LN-T4665F): asking $900. The TV is 2 years old but it has been an awesome TV. I have everything that came with the TV expect of the original box.
Receiver
Onkyo 7.1 (model# TX-SR806): asking $700. I just got this receiver back in Feb of this year. Now to be truthful I have been having some problems with this receiver. After it has been shut off over night the center channel takes about 15 to 20 minutes to kick on. I have been talking to Brad at United Radio in New York and he is pretty sure it is a bad relay. I just sent the receiver to him today. I will only sell this once it has been fixed. I will not say that it is fixed sell it and then have whoever buys it to call telling me it is not working. It will be in prefect working condition. I have everything that it came with as well.
Speakers
KEF 7.0 setup (model#s IQ7, IQ6, IQ3): asking $1500. I picked these up as well back in Feb, and have everything for them as well.
Sub
Outlaw 12" 300w (model# LFM-1Plus): asking $550. Again had since Feb of this year, and have all it came with including box.
I really do not want to sell this but have no choice. As stated above have all original packing for all expect TV. This would be a great start up system for anyone. Total $3650 if anyone is interested for all of it. Shipping falls on the buyer as well. If you live near Mountain Home Ar then we can make arrangements. I am willing to go 2 hours in any direction if you are willing to by all of it. Individual sells will be shipped only.Last edited by craizedmanic; 08-20-2009 at 10:17 PM. Reason: changing title

Why are you not sending the receiver directly to Onkyo for warranty repair or is United Radio an authorized repair center for them?

United Radio is an authorized repair center for them. It is the place Onkyo corporate told me to call.
I would also like to say that everything even the TV looks brand new.
There are no Scratches, dents, dings,or missing parts nothing wrong at all.
I am very anal about my electronics, and make sure that they are very well taken care of.Last edited by craizedmanic; 08-19-2009 at 11:00 AM.

Sorry you have found yourself in a tough financial spot.
Not trying to offend but being realistic the prices for used gear is a bit on the high end. The Onkyo receiver can be had brand new delivered with a full 2 year warranty from Newegg.com for $599.
The economy as you know is tight right now and there are some awesome deals to be had on TV's that are new in that price range.
You might do better trying Craig's list.

yeah, sorry to hear the predicament you're in man, I know I've been there and it's not fun.
Unfortunately, in order to move the stuff, you are probably going to at least halve your prices. I know it's not what you want to hear, but that's the market for used merch.
I do hope everything gets sorted for you.Toshiba Talen 57" 1080p DLP

I have sold the TV and I have some one interested in the receiver. So that leaves the speakers and sub. Together I want $2050 I have knock off $250 and now will sell the complete 7.1 setup for $1800. Remember that these speaker are only six months old, and in reality with the problems with my receiver they have set in my living room not being used for most of the six months. I would say that they have probably only been used for about 60 hours or so in Six months. If you know of anyone that is looking for a complete 7.1 system than here it is.

Since I can not seem to find anyone anywhere that is interested in this setup I am taking my friend up on his offer and selling my sub to him. So that leaves a 7.0 speaker set. Remember this is not a HTiB. I have check prices on these speakers and have drop the price down to $1300 might even go down to $1200 if anyone is interested. I paid right at $1700 for them brand new. For speakers that are only 6 months old $500 off sounds good to me. Hopefully it does to someone else as well.

Well my friend decided to go def tech after all. Even after all the bitching he did about me selling him my sub. Anyway the sub is back on the market, and I will now gladly take $1500+ shipping for the whole 7.1 setup. As already stated have all the original packaging. This is a steal. Buying this setup will cost you over $2000 brand new.

Ok one last post. Things have leveled off a little and I will not be selling the sub after all. One less thing I have to buy later right. Anyway I still need to sell the speakers, and the last drop is down to $1100 for the set. Can not go any lower than that. Once again I have all the oringial packaging and everything that came with the speakers.
