But this Onkyo looks like a good deal http://www.ubid.com/Onkyo_TX-8522_XM_Ready_Stereo_Receiver_200W_w%2FiPod/a112846 20-c1014-s2.html |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2131 Registered: Oct-04 | Yeah, I picked up a opened-box NS-R2000 for about $25, delivered, on eBay about 2-yrs ago for my brother, and it isn't half bad. I'd say it is a good 40W/Ch receiver even though it's rated at 100W/Ch. I know I've read elsewhere that it's a Sherwood RX-4109 re-box, but now I seem to recall that it's actually some other no-name Chinese brand that Best Buy slaps their label on and sell as their own, Sherwood might use the same supplier. If someone wants to roll the dice, and try to pick one up, best of luck. http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_nkwZnsQ2dr2000QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ Best Buy is now selling the unit for $113, and I'm not really interested in it at that price. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8254612&st=NS-R2000&type=product&i d=1169512582154 |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2132 Registered: Oct-04 | I should add that my brother's bedroom system also consists of a pair of Insignia NS-B2111 speakers I picked-up for him recently, also on eBay, also new in an opened-box, for about $35, and together with an old $40 Apex AD-2500 DVD/CD player, it makes for a very neat set-up. I was pretty unmoved by the Insignia speakers in the "showroom", but in his room they sound really nice, even more so when you consider the price. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2134 Registered: Oct-04 | Is that what it is? I thought it was a pack of cigarettes. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1704 Registered: Feb-07 | LOL. I think a pack of smokes is bigger. And heavier... |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 8058 Registered: Feb-05 | Plenty of room inside the case for a carton of smokes... |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2135 Registered: Oct-04 | Never mind the cigarettes, I wouldn't be surprised if this baby start smoking all on it's own... |
