Im not on a super tight budget, but since I do like the speakers I have, I am just in need of a new receiver, blu ray and I should probably get a working sub woofer. If I buy the ones I mentioned before, I am around $600. plus about $200. for the woofer. I can live with that. And yes, I will move the old receiver to my garage and hook up some older speakers just to have music out there. Also I love to tinker with things, so I will come up with a way to make the Bose work in my garage, trust me I never give up. I am currently working on getting a Sony RDR VX515 DVD/VHS recorder. to work that the DVD part is not getting power. I can't help myself, I like to take things apart.
