but sir clon is right too. if sir von is selling his 705, its worth a look. as i said the x05 series of onkyo were considered the best onkyo has made and designed.
The 705 US import is being sold on the "for sale thread" now for 23K and its almost new but again 110volt, NO Warranty and No peace of mind (for me).
the us 805 and 806 are also for sale and are almost new at about 40K and are 110volt, Again.. No warranty and no peace of mind(for me).
These units could be the best deal around........ if you have an appetite ( and a stomach) for risk. Sir Von also may be offring a great deal but todays great deal could be tomorrows headache..............so in the famous words of a Speghetti western star (also known as Dirty Harry)........"I know what your thinking Punk...Did I fire 5 shots or 6..........well you gotta ask yourself "am I feeling lucky"....well...are you feeling lucky punk?
of couse we all know the punk gets his head blown off!
When it comes to audio gear expecially receivers I would rather "luck" not play a part in my buying decisions.
The more I think about it the more I like The 707 .....at 40K .... not a bad deal.....now where did my wife hide her credit card
