Yeah, no light on the power button. Nothing. Acting as if there is an open curcuit.

Please don't go away. Any ideas are welcomed at this point.

If I can't get it to work today, I'm going to buy something towmorrow. Gotta have surround for the superbowl........

My old POS standby AVR is won't work either.

I'm still hung over too.

This is not a good day.....

Hmm... And you've tried a different power cord/outlet/etc/etc/ad nauseum. I'd try the reset, even if it looks like it's not doing anything. Worth a go. Could also a be a disconnect in the main power button (but that's probably too simple).

Tried it Ken. No stirrings of life. Tried a different cord too. I'm about to start pulling screws, but I spose I better call HK first. Don't want to screw myself out a warranty.

I'm liking that B / A receiver more and more as I flip through the manual I downloaded. They just started making AVR's about a year ago. Not much information out there on them. Can't find many owner reviews. Anyone here have an experience with them?

This is a big screaming red flag for me. It's really unlikely that two receivers would fail at the same time. Any chance the outlet is dead, ie can you try the receiver in a different, known good outlet ?

Fond a review. http://www.hometheatermag.com/receivers/705boston/



Found this post at Audioholics.

“The BA AVR7120 and AVR7110 are clones of the Sherwood Newcastle R-965 and R-865 respectively. I'm not sure if there were any upgrades made to the BA equipment as they list at over $1000. more expensive than the equivalent Sherwood models. That said, OneCall (and maybe some others) are having clearance sales such that the BA equipment is significantly cheaper than it's Sherwood counterparts. One thing to keep in mind is after sales support, if BA is exiting the receiver arena, then there might not be any SW upgrades available, whereas Sherwood is both fixing bugs and adding features.”

Yeah I did that too.

The old AVR wasn’t working too well when I retired it. It came in a HTIB (awai). It’s just dead now. Worked for a few minutes, then it died.

I did check polarity on outlet just to be sure though. All’s good. Plus, I have pretty good surge protector/conditioner.

Hi mdrew,

My condolences on your dead 7200, but I'm glad it's still under warranty. I'd advise you not to go with B/A. It's too new, there's no long-term reliability stuff on the brand, and if it's based on Sherwood, the latter has a dubious reliability record.

I had an Onkyo blow its output section some years ago. It was the first failure I'd had of a amp/receiver in 20 years or so, and I was annoyed. Then I found out they had had manufacturing problems, which I hope are solved.

Since you have M80s, there's always Denon, which will drive them. Think about an Outlaw preamp and the multichannel power amp as well. I''d avoid Yamaha if you are running a number of low impedances like the M80s and the M22s in parallel.

Regards,


Alan Lofft,

Thanks Alan.

The ‘newness’ of B/A has me a bit nervous as well. Plus, it’s MSRP of $3000, with on line vendors everywhere selling it for $1000 is a bit curious as well. Sure looks like a dandy unit though.

There are no local Denon retailers where I live. Does anyone know of any good on-line ‘authorized’ retailers?

If you want to go b-stock and save some coin try Dakmart. One of the few Denon authorized to sell b-stock with warranties. I've had good dealings with them.
