Looking for a good, older receiver with plenty of power. Need at least DD/DTS and remote. HDMI not necessary. Preferred brands: Marantz, Denon, Yamaha. Other brands will definitely be considered.

Looking to spend $200 or less. I will have to unload some stuff first to fund any purchase. So just testing the waters right now.

Thanks!

    Hmmm, didn't see that. Guess I'll head over to the FS section and check it out. Thanks for the heads up!

    Not really in a hurry to sell it or I would. Agreed though. It is a great unit and I sometimes wonder why I "upgraded" to my Pioneer.

    I found an excellent condition Pioneer Elite VSX-53tx for $150. This thing was absolutely mint. Not a scratch anywhere, not even a spec of dust on it. The set up procedure is a bit tricky and I was surprised to find only 4 digital inputs but the sound is great - really on the warm side and very dynamic. This is my first Elite and I can see why you guys always recommend them - it goes great with my Polk RT's.

    Again, thanks for all the offers!
