Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Opinions on Epic 50-350 and Receivers

Hey!! I resemble that remark!!!

I do have to hear me some M50s one day. Who among the M50 owners lives closest to Toronto ?

I live about 1200 mi.-don't come in September though, last summer we had three major hurricanes in a three week period-each time we evacuated I took my M3s with me, now, however, the M50s are quite a bit larger....
Anyone closer?
Oh, I know a couple; named Ian and Amie, live just up the road from you!(ok,but next to 1200, it is just up the road)
I understand they run M80s, but they may have a couple M50s laying around that they may let you listen to.

Just tell 'em Rich sent you!
Uh..Er..maybe not.
I better get some coffee now-Rich.

I notice ecost has a lot of refurb onkyo and denon for some pretty good prices. Has anyone have problems with refurb receivers since i get the impression a bunch of you have one.

i got a refurb Onkyo 701 over a year ago, and it has worked flawlesly. i couldnt be happier with it. and, it still came with the standard 2 year factory warrenty.

you just cant beat that!

I've got a refurb Denon 884 from ecost about 8 months ago and haven't had a problem with it. I also couldn't find a scratch either. The only thing wrong with it was that there were some finger prints on the screen (that easily wiped off) otherwise, it was a steal I thought.

OTOH, I don't think I'll be buying a CD/DVD player through refurb again. I bought my dad a Denon DVM 1815? and after two weeks, there was a problem with the transport. We got it replaced but it took some very stern phone conversations. I'm sure plenty of people have had flawless experiences with CD/DVD players, but I'll stick to buying my "transport included" products from a B&M. It's just easier.

Based on input from the guys on this board and their generally good experiences, I recently decided to go the refurb route.

I just took delivery of a refurbed Onkyo 702 from J&R on Monday ($400). I was a little worried at first as the outer box was fairly beaten up and the air bladders for cushioning were pretty flat. The inner box looked fine, I set the 702 up and it powered up, self-calibrated and plays fine. So far all the input modes I've tried work. Given it is a refurb, they did reduce the normal 2 year warrantee to 1 year.

Time will tell if it was a good buy or not.

you got a better deal than me..

i got my 701 for $429 exactly one year ago, but that was even before the 702's were out yet. but i did get a 2 year warranty.

sounds like you got a great deal.. congrats!! i hope the unit continues to work well for you.. and mine for me!

Paul, if it doesn't give you any problems in the first year, chances are good it won't give you any problems in the second either. After that it would be out of warranty anyway. Enjoy!
