Mike,
if you set your mind on ONKYO 701 look at JandJ.com on FRIDAYS - you might get it for $500 ( free shipping )
Just keep in mind ( IMHO ) - it is not really best AVR for STEREO
( I had it for 2 weeks, along with HK3840 stereo, HK7200,DENON 1803(?) and ended up bying PIONEER 2012, which is PE 45TX without expencive "ELITE" in front and, well 1 year warranty only, but I have extra year with my credit card, I think MOSFET output as as close to 'tube' sound as you can get - and price was $600 shipped )
