New offer hard to refuse!

[NorthStar]

I was just offered to buy the Yamaha RX-Z11 (perfect condition from a friend of mine)

What to do? I already have tons of receivers!

Sell your recievers and buy separates with the funds!!! ;D

Actually I'm looking for a good deal on an Onkyo Pro PR-SC5507P Surround Processor,
and I got the XPA-2 and XPA-5 coming! So I'll be all separates very soon.

* But this deal is simply amazing, I think that I will go for it, nothing to loose here, right?

...well you could lose $1500.

Sounds like a good deal... Seriously, I have a hard time letting go of my "old" recievers. But my garage and kid's rooms have nice setups now.

Didn't you just get a 906 that you said you did not need? It sounds like the last thing you need is another AVR. However, like Rather said , if you can flip it for a profit then go for it. Is it always a good deal just because the price is great? This is a tough economy right now and, getting an AVR is an expense that many can't afford . It is like my room mate, he has over 400,000 baseball cards worth alot of money if, he could find someone to pay the price. Like I said before since, you have an XPA 2 and, XPA 5 on the way. Sell a couple of those AVRs or don't buy another and, use the money you save to buy a nice pre/pro. For, $1599 US you can get a brand new 5507 .IMO, you are just making side steps not moving up.

LOL,or for his bathroom. It must be nice to have so much disposable income. ;D

Lord, thas Onkyo looks pretty nice as an in betweener

Its funny, I'll think about wanting or maybe purchasing something and then a few days later Rich is posting pictures of it in house. I was in the navy too, maybe I should have stayed in...

I actually just purchased the RX-Z11 a couple weeks ago. Build quality and feature set are top notch. There aren't many 11 channel receivers on the market so if this is the direction you wish to take your HT, I'd seriously consider it. For anyone else that is interested, NewEgg runs a Saturday special on this unit for $1,799.99 however last I heard they only had 7 units available. $1,500 is a really great deal.

My room mate was in the Navy and, he said the only thing he got out of it was a tattoo he can't stand.

400,000! If he got $0.10 a piece, that is still a huge chunk of change. I imagine that there are some really good ones in there.

$1500 Canadian translates to what US? There are alot of good options you can get for $1500 US in terms of seperates pre/pro and amp section...........

[DoingOK]

Yep , he use to own a card shop. He has them all filed in boxes and, checks their values all the time. He says this one is worth so much and, I always say if, you can find someone to buy it for that price. And, he thinks I'm fanatical about audio!

I served 12 years in the Navy (2nd platoon ST1) after a few shore leaves to Thailand, Japan and The Philippines I got a little more than a bad tattoo. ;D ;D
