Just looked at them now they do seem to have some amazing deals, they are doing the Onkyo TX-NR808 at $599.99 thats nearly 50% off. Pretty impressive stuff.

Wow, that looks like just about the perfect receiver.

I just got my receiver from them about a month ago. I got the refurbished Onkyo SR608. The first one they sent me had a few problems. The onscreen menu would never pop up, and the volume was low (even when turned WAY up).

I emailed them, and they sent out a replacement with a prepaid fedex return for the old one. The new one I got works perfectly. All in all, it was a good experience and I got an awesome deal.

Just remember to keep your original packaging if you need to return the unit for some reason.

Also note that ShopOnkyo has a Christmas weekend 20% off sale on certain refurbished models for "ClubOnkyo" members. With the $10 credit for registering, the net cost of the 807 would be about $390 shipped.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Refurb opinion, not specifically Onkyo...

I bought a Denon Refurb from DakMart and the sub pre-out didn't work. Seems the previous owner had broken off an RCA connector in it. I didn't care about the Warranty (long story) so I opened it up and saw the pin sticking out the back of the port and I fixed it myself.

How the Denon Refurb Techs missed *that* is beyond me but it has shaken my confidence in Refurbs.

I bought a refurbished Marantz SR5002 AVR from AC4L(for only $328 shipped) around two years ago and I can't recommend them enough. The unit was delivered lightning-fast(two days from their facility in FL to my front door in South Jersey) and it looked and performed as brand new. Even the manual looked brand new. They even included a four foot XIOS HDMI cable. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

Well, drat. The one I was looking at has sold out. The 808 looked exactly like what I was looking for.
