So far, I have been lucky. I want to spread it around. Figured, it's a win win. Someone can benefit from this Karma.

For Karma: HK AVR 146

This is a 5.1 Receiver with hdmi inputs. I used it for some time and I kinda just stashed it away. I used it a little to play around and was planning on using it for the gameroom, but I need something larger and better to use with the BW 802 Diamonds that is going to the gameroom... since the Strads are coming shortly to fill in the void in my stereo room.

So... I am going to give away this receiver as a karma.

Rules:
1. I will leave the Karma thread open for a week. It will end on 8/15 at 1159pm.
2. Please respond with "IN" and tell me why you want the receiver and what you plan on doing with it. I will number the responses based on sequence (meaning that the first response will be #1, etc). Each day you can post another "IN". You can do it every day until we close the karma thread and someone wins.
3. I will assign each post a # based on the post count on the thread, and run a number generator. Whichever # the generator picks will be the winner.

Stipulation:
- If you are local, please pick up so I don't have to pack and ship.
- If you are not local, please pay for shipping. I don't mind paying for shipping out of my own pocket, but I will let you know how much it was and please pay.

Included:
1. Box and packing.
2. Receiver.
3. I don't know where the remote is, if I find it then I will include it.

We will have more karmas in the future. My hope is that sometime in the future I can Karma out a pair of Polk 703.

Stay tuned.

Btw, here is the receiver in question:

    I'm in. Either going to my brother or father in law for a starter system.

    Very generous of you.
    In. Will give it to my Son. His receiver has a nasty hum that he can't get rid of.
  • I gave away an excellent Carver power amp to a guy on stereophile forums. It was the one that says "transfer function calibrated" on it. I don't remember the model.
  • Great karma Joey...but I am not in. Nice unit though...very generous of you :)
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I am in, super karma.

    It will go to my cousin and his 5 kids who he gets on the weekends.

    Wish I had the time to relate how his ex has betrayed him and the cost he has incurred, a truly grat dad, and he does not make a distinction as to the little guy he knew was not biologically his from day one.

    I have given him my floorstanding mirages and center, as well as a nice older denon model that does a good job, but he would really appreciate this as would I.

    Again, a great karma, and I just might make a karma of the denon if we win, maybe even if we don't.

    god bless.

    scott and deb

    BTW, pics of the family, along with the HK will be forthcoming if we win, maybe if I can manage a karma otherwise

    IN! Thanks, Joey, for the awesome karma offering.

    This would be a great, and perfectly timed, replacement for my recently deceased Onkyo from my basement HT system.
