Had my mind pretty much set on a new H/K 635 reciever but I found an 'open box' special on a 630 at Circuit City today for $699 so I couldn't resist, the only thing it doesn't have the manual or remote but has the full factory warranty.

I figure a manual can be had online and the remote will be taken care of with the addition of (probably) the MX-700.

Typically I do not go for these types of specials but after discussing with my wife about the 80s and the Rotel 1080 amp and 1070 preamp, thinking on the negative side...she said 'Well if your going to spend THAT kind of money on the stereo (80s/Rotels) you might as well go ahead and get this at this price.

What do you all think...good deal?

Loved my Onkyo 502, but so far this 630 is awesome with the 60s.

Bob, not a bad buy and I know that it was sitting there begging you to take it home, but....the new 635 with the new room equalization system is on sale for today here for $690(shipping included, no tax).

You're a bad, bad man.

Wow, that's a heck of a good buy. Oh well, I did what I did and I'll keep what I have and nonetheless, I'm happy!

Congrats on the new receiver, and welcome to the HK 630 club -- almost as big as the M60 posse

John, thanks....I'm returning the 630 and the brand spanking new 635 for $689.99, WITH a manual and remote will be here during the middle part of next week

BrotherBob returning or exchanging items purchased?!? No way...who would have ever thought!

Geez, that was quick even for you

Yea I know John, I'm beginning to think whenever it comes to a/v decision making, ol' BrotherBob is a complete dork! Oh well, at least the end result is worth it!

CC has a 30 day return policy, even on open box items so at least I get to play around with this 630 until the 635 gets here. Darn thing sure sounds sweet pushing these 60s, no doubt.

Bob - you are hard to keep up with! You will end up pretty happy with (whatever) HK receiver you keep, return or reorder.

Now lets focus on that mx-700 ya hear!
