<font color='#000000'>Sorry, my intention in the first post was not to put down the HK325. I'm just saying in my opinion depending on how long you hold onto your components to purchase your components with the same range of 'quality'. Generally the weakest link in the components will be the bottleneck to your enjoyment. I mean not to purchase one component thats high end and another thats mid grade, you will not get the full enjoyment out of the high end component. If your thinking about upgrading the low end component in the near future it might be worth the purchase. The HK325 is a middle of the road product and you should be looking at middle of the road speakers.
I am also from Canada and work for a company which is also an electronics distributor. I am really suprised by the HK DVD retailing for 100$, I don't want to call it BS but something doesn't sound legit.
I would go with the credit note!
As for the HK 325, not a bad price if its 2003. If its an 02 or 01 inventory the companies can write these items off as depreciated inventory and still make a buck! Thats why we have boxing day, its never a deal, watch out for those chain stores. Older ones can retail at 840$cdn 1yr old, 650$ 2yr old.
Sound and Vision, great start, excellent to learn! I am not an expert but I am still skeptical about a mags that do write ups on one of its advertisers.
As for the FG00886s I believe they are now around the 700$ range but the FG00721 (? not sure of the exact model) might be more fitting for your HK325. I am really happy with the NILES but I would look at other brands Try, Compare and Keep or Return.( its really hard with in walls
)
Best of luck!</font>
