Adapting from 220V to 110V system

[chernel]

Could it be possible for us to use our 220V stereo systems and home theatre systems in Canada. Would it make sense to bring these along with us?

Are they using 110 volt?

You can purchase step down transformers, but remember in stereo equipment with motors (turntable) there is a different in phases, I think it would run slower.  You TV is what system?  Is it NTSC which the standard in Canada/US, if it is PAL/Secam it won't work unless it dual system.  Also you should look into a code free DVD player or  you won't be able to play your DVDs if they are out of NA Zone.

Thanks PMM.

What we might bring is an amplifier and Bose Accoustimas home theater speakers, we won't be bringing TV, DVD and no turn table. So we were wondering if it would be better to sell these before coming.

Do you really mean step down?

Sorry, step up transformer.  Bring them, or check out the prices on future shop, best buy, some of the other web retailers to get an idea of the prices to see if it is work the effort.  Don't forget the cost of the transformer for the amp.
