Hi All

I am not only new to AVForums but also to the AV scene. I've been reading the forums for a while and decided that it's time that I make use of this great resource to the fullest; so here I am. Hi connoisseurs!

Here's my story: I will be moving into my own place soon and want to get my first Home Theatre system up and running, but my AV knowledge is quite sparse. My system would be used for (about) 70% home theatre and 30% music. My friend's dad is selling a new Yamaha RX-V667 (imported from the US) for R6000. The problem is that it is a 110V receiver so I would need a step down transformer. What do you guys think about this deal? Where does one get a good step-down transformer in Cape Town?

The receiver I get will be used to drive either a pair of KEF IQ70 or B&W 684 floorstanders, which I plan to get by the middle of the year (need to save up again). I've narrowed the choice down to those two, based on what I have read, but I will make the decision based on an audition closer to the time. I would then get the rest of the missing pieces as time goes by. Can anyone recommend these speakers and are they a good match for the receiver I plan to get?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
