Hard to make out the model. Looks like HT465CQW but I can't find info on it. The proprietary speaker jacks make it look like part of a HTIB setup. Click to expand... I think it's the same one my sister has. When I went to visit her of course I played with her system and optimized placement for her. It's a tube preamp and solid state amp receiver. The little sub that comes with it sucks, but as a whole the system sounded better than I expected. Reactions: Eppie

You can't use the speakers with anything else because they have a 3ohm rating. I wouldn't plug any other speakers into it because of that either. Samsung doesn't really make all that good of products IMHO. EDIT: well, this one has HDMI out so it could at least function as a player, but I'm not sure how well it'd work at a decade old. Give em $5 and see what they say Reactions: Pogre

It looks like a very high end system with some good components, but it's a mixed bag with all of the tweaky, overpriced goofy synergistic research crap. The speakers are pretty interesting tho and I'll bet they prolly sound pretty nice.

If the Monitor 40s would clean up those would be good extra room speakers at $40 and especially if you can get one of those 50% off deals they seem to have it would be a steal. I guess the challenge is how many speakers like that do you need (which is what I run into). It's so tempting to buy tons of lateral moves. By the way whatever thrift shop you go to has continuous speakers which is super cool! Again my goodwills have the absolute worst crap I have ever seen... Ever....
