Well I did end up getting it. Keep in mind I'm in Canada and anything I would have bought from the US I would have had to pay shipping and duties. Actually most places I checked on Amazon for used wouldn't ship to Canada.

The receiver is in excellent condition. I'm not sure how to tell if it has the newer Audessy EQ. What do I need to look for?

I setup my system and ran the Auto EQ. Definitely an improvement in sound compared to my Yammi.
