Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater ONKYO TX-SR702 with axioms

I have the SR-700, 2 years old. was very happy with the sound. i now use it as a pre/pro with my ADCOM amp. you can tell theres a differance when things get loud and power is required for all channels but it's not night and day. I've had two onkyo's and never had a repair issue. you did good.

Thanks for the info re: Onecall. The only problem with Onecall is they don't ship outside the U.S. I am in Canada on the West Coast. Most of the other online suppliers will ship to Canada.

oh that sucks cant they just ship it to customs and leave it at the boarder with your name on it. lol

You are correct, that sucks big time! For $599 you can't beat that deal with net tune etc. All the other online stores sell this for $900+. Guess I will stick with plan 'a' and get a Denon. I sure like the look and specs of the 801 though...

Snakeeyes. Have you heard any news on when the 1070 is coming out? I've tried to keep my eyes open and seen nothing lately.

i think originally it was dec but im not sure last week or so they were asking for beta testers via there news letter. so signed up hope they select me that would be awesome. especially since you get 50% off the product you test.

From the outlaw website
----For those of you who don’t recall, or were not part of the Outlaw Family at the time, the 1070 is a full featured 7 x 65 watt per channel surround receiver with DVI switching that was expected to be released at the very end of this year.

While we’re very excited about the 1070, both in features and in performance we are very disappointed to announce that due to normal production delays, prototypes that went missing for almost two weeks, and a handful of software glitches, the reality is that we will miss our original estimated release date of late December. However, we’ve mobilized Peter and he’ll be in Asia next week to firm things up for late January production.

We do remain committed to a price under $1000, which considering the samples we're working with now, we KNOW we’ve got another winner on our hands!-----

When I got my M60s I looked at the cheapest receiver I can get that has the features I needed (not a whole lot), and got the Yam 5640 for about $200. I used to wonder if I was to cheap for my M60s, but once I read the debates about (the impossibility of) comparing receivers, I decided my Yam should be good enough. So whenever people talk about $600+ receivers or expensive separates, I just go: lalalalalala, can't hear you . I'd rather spend that money on a vacation.

My Yam has more analog stereo inputs (4) than I need (1). More component inputs (2) than I need (0). More speaker outputs (6.1) than I need (4.1). I never turn the volume past -10db. I am a happy (and cheap) camper.
