How much do you think this would be worth?

Trying to upgrade my condo stereo from a crappy Yamaha surround sound system to something a lot more substantial. I've already received a green card from my wife but since you guys know so much more than I do I thought I'd ask for advice.

Here is what I found:

2x Polk RTA 11T (6ohm, 30-250W)
4x Polk R30 (8ohm, 20-100W)
1x Polk CSi25 (8ohm, 10-100W)
1x Energy EPS100 (Powered dual 8", 100Wrms, 400Wpeak)

1x Denon AVR-2805 (7.1 channel receiver, 100 watts x 7 into 8 ohms)
Matches the speakers well and can do a proper 7.1 output

The TV that I'd be hooking up is a 5 year old LG 55" 3-D smart TV. I'm not sure if the Denon receiver has the proper input or not.

This is also going in my condo so if it requires a ton of power and volume before it really sounds good I might have to pass.

Thanks in advance.

Don't know much about the speakers but the AVR-2805 is not HDMI compatible if that is a concern. You would have to get at least an AVR-4306, AVR-3806, or an AVR-2807 to get some HDMI hookups.
 
Thanks for that. I guess I could use my existing Yamaha HTR 3063 instead of the Denon. The guy wants $300 for everything I figure its under $40 per speaker and you get the processor for free.
 
Take optical out from any of your sources including your smart tv into the receiver.

It will work fine

Good luck

Thanks guys. I did purchase all of the above for $250 instead of $300. He had it all set up to listen to and the sounds was gorgeous! Everything was in great shape. He took good care of it, just needed the room. 8 speakers is a lot to ask for. So many new buttons to play with. Can't wait to set it up and dial it in.
 
The four surround speakers as well as the center and sub all have black cabinets. However the two RTA 11Ts both have an oak veneer.

I'm going to PlacticDip them black to match the others. I'll take before and after pics for you.
