Onkyo AVR

[JohnLocke88]

Hello everyone. I'm looking for two (2) separate Onkyo AVRs. I'd prefer something in the xx5 or xx6 generations (ones with HDMI 1.3a). Looking for black or silver, doesn't really matter. Prefer cosmetic condition of 7/10 or higher. Willing to cover shipping/fees.

More specifically, I'm looking for the following models:

TX-SR575
TX-SR576
TX-SR605
TX-SR606
TX-SR705
TX-SR706
TX-SR805
TX-SR806

I might be interested in something else (non-Onkyo) that fits the bill of HDMI 1.3a switching (audio and video), something around 80-100 WPC @ 8 ohms in good working/cosmetic condition.

I have a black TX-SR805 FS; cosmetically great condition... definitely at least 9/10 As for 1.3; I double checked the owners manual and it states 1.3a. Asking $625 OBO. Let me know.

Thxs!!

Still looking.

Check CC, if you have one local. My brother picked A 605 up today from there for $250.

I know. My buddy got a 605 there last summer, and I picked up one too (both OB). Unfortunately, mine was buggered, his was fine :(

There is one 705 that's been in a small, non ventilated case for the last six months on OB, not sure if it's worth the risk.

You would still have a two year manufacturer warranty. If the price was right, I would pick it up.

Check ecost.com. They are an authorized seller of factory refurbished electronics for Onkyo, Denon, and others. There is a TX-SR575 there right now for $189.99. I just ordered (it should be here today or tomorrow) a Denon AVR-788 for $215.00 plus $30 shipping. It has 90 watts x 7, full HDMI switching, 2 room/2 source power (in 5.1), auto-calibration, and a full factory warranty.

I figure that with a factory refurb, they go over it entirely before putting the stamp of approval on it.

Oh yeah, I'm a newbie...

Bumpity. Thanks for the input rickprins; If possible I'd like to stay away from ecost. My roommate had some issues with them with a Westinghouse TV refurb.

Hmmm... my amp just came in yesterday. It looked OK. I haven't hooked it up yet. I needed to let it get up to room temp. I'll let you know how it goes when I'm done.

Bumpity bump bump. Looking for one more; Was able to score that 705 at Circuit City. At least one good thing has come of them.

Have decided to limit search to 6 and 7 series. (I'm thinking 8 + is going to be super mega overkill.)

Thanks.
