im happy to chuck in some $$ if the gear ends up going cheaply enough at the auction.i.e. no more than $150 - 200 per item for spkrs , amps etc . a digital desk would be nice but wouldnt pay anymore than $500 for one of the ones listed .( but thats only coz we have mixers we can use already) main concern after looking at the web pages would be on the subboxes. they would probably sound ok but im not really convinced that we could expect the kind of bottom end we would be after out of something with as small & plasticy an enclosure, but would have to hear em though. go for the 15" tops rather than the 12" ones. system processor looks good. & the amps look ok but probably would need something larger for the subs than the 200 + 200w models that are avail. I reckon see how its lookin at the auction & get em if they are cheap. dale
