Ok so my harman kardon avr-65 died...
i asked many moons ago if i should switch to a kenwood and was told that would be inferior to my ears... hah..


soooo my receiver was making a loud clunk but worked... you would hear the sound loose bass... then clunk... and it was back well after about a year of this i got mad and punched it... well now it dont work.... powers on..

so is there anyone that knows of a place that repairs receivers?
or what would be a good solution to go with?

i currently have the need for optical and component switching so i can get rid of the pelican game switcher......

now the deal..
1 i need a BLACK receiver.. i dont like silver.. no im not going to paint it or electrical tape it...

2. i have ALWAYS wanted the avr-7000... should i look for a used one?

3. i know denon has black receivers and they range in price from minimal to the moon.... so guessing they would have what i want... anyone recommend a $800 receiver? i need to go over to the homeseer.com forums and ask what could i automate into my setup now....

ok that will do for now..
Thanks

well i started searching and was really liking the avr-3600.... hdmi switching which would be nice but i dont have any hdmi devices.. still have crt's all over the house....

then remembered i always wanted the avr-7000 or 7200 ... found one on ebay for $310 shipped... up right now on ebay...

then i found a local avr-8000 for sale!!!!!!!!!!! and he said cheaper than that $310!!!!!!!!!!!!! trying to coordinate with him now..

oh well not going to automate music for now....

well talked to the guy.. he put it up for sale in a forum under someone elses after they sold theirs.... not an avr-8000 but a avr-80....grrrrrrrrrr
