oops, my bad
Looking for budget reciever for second system.
Hello,
I am looking for a budget reciever for a second system. My maximum budget is US$300.
I have Monitor Audio B1s on the way which I plan to use as fronts, and Mission M30is fo use as rears. I will figure out a center channel later.
the system will be mainly used for music. I was wondering if you have any recommendations. I am not in a situation where I can audition to anything other than cheap recievers that are six years old because of my location, so that is out of the question for now.
I am looking at the Teac AG-L800, The Onkyo TX-SR503, and Pioneer VS-X515 recievers new and am looking at a a few things that I have seen here on Audiogon; Sony AVD-S50es, Harman kardon AVR-135, Yamaha RX-V496.
Any suggestions on any of these or other choices are appreciated.
I am leaning to the Teac because of its size and the remote looks great, but if it doesnt sound the part, then its not worth it. Also the Sony is a great option because it has the dvd player built in, but once again, the sound needs to be decent.

Nerspellsner, Tell me about the sound of that Denon you own and what you are partnering with it. Just curious. I was looking at it as well but was a bit skeptical, but if you own one tell me abour the sound. At present I am also looking at a Denon 1802 here on the Gon. any comments on this one as well? Thanks D |
Eccbo: Given that you live in St Vincent ... are the brands that you listed above (as well as Marantz) the only ones that you can audition? Quite frankly at $300 your options are pretty limited if you are buying new and are buying a locally available brand. Buying a brand from overseas would be prohibitive if only because of shipping costs and importing duties (if any). I would also be concerned about the ability to get an item repaired, if it were to breakdown. The Teac that you mentioned above is being discontinued and is available from a NYC location for $200 (down from a list of $900). If overseas shipping is not an issue, see the item here at J&R Music . Regards, Rich |
