Bought this one for 370 at 6ave.com can't be happier, buy it now and you're getting a HELLUVA deal on a great receiver.

Nothing wrong with refurbished onkyo as long as tehy are factory refurb. I don't trust ecost to actually refurb anything, I'd put money down saying that these are just open box.

This is a fair price.

for $30 more you can get a new one on eBay. eCost is shady.

#5, I couldn't see it!

Ordered this last wee. Received it in 3 days. Looks factory new to me. Works perfect.

I upgraded from an older Kenwood 5.1 system. I could not be more happy. Seems like I got way more then I paid for on this one.

I set it up with a set of $200 Fluance speakers. If looking for a super deal on well made affordable speakers check out Fluance.com. I can't believe the quality of both the build and sound for the price.

These guys are $299 shipped.

#5, Ebay won't give you a warranty.

#7 seems to be someone working for fluance.com. This thread reveals some uncomfortable truths about Fluance

This is not a bad model at all. If you are looking for the higher end of Onkyo, then search for Integra.
