<font color='#000000'>Greetings -
Calling from Johannesburg South Africa. * A few days ago
I purchased a Denon G-05 "Cellena" mini system from a second-hand store here in Johannesburg. *I just couldn't resist the look of the system; but realised that it obviously came from the USA because it was being run off a 220v/110v transformer.
I took the unit to a fairly good audio store at a major Mall
here in Jhb, and they ran the unit for me using a pair of
Polk speakers *(the entry level set and the pair above that)
and the sound was certainly not unpleasing.
What I would really like to know, if possible, from the forum
is:
1. * * * * Was it an 'OK' move to buy *the unit ... *? * * * * *
* * * * * (cassettes/CD/tuner all working well thank
* * * * * *goodness)
2. * * * * Do you think the price was about right. *It was * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * *R1500.00 (South African Rands) (about $180.00)
3. * * * * In the 'grand order' of mini systems over the
* * * * * *past 10 years or so .. does the Denon G-05
* * * * * *rate reasonably enough ..?
With many thanks in advance ..</font>
