Considering selling this; want to see if anyone here is interested. Unit is approximately 6 months old and works perfectly. I purchased it Refurbished from Ubid and the warranty is out, but I will guarrantee it not to be DOA. I have the remote, orig. box and manual.

This is a kick-**** stereo receiver. 100w x 2 high-current. It is powerful as hell and sounds sweet. Has pre-out/main-in connectors (haven't used) and 2nd room out (non-powered) and has a little bitty remote for 2nd room.

I'm just trying to get out of it what I invested. $200 shipped. This retails for $500.

I'll post pics when I get them uploaded. Any takers?

    and the back (note the phono/ground connections and preouts/main ins...and 2nd room!).

    As you can see it is in excellent shape. I used it to power an A+B set up with RT2000i fronts and RTi38 rears. Decided I had to go back to a DD/DTS setup in that room and bought the new Yammie 5660. This thing blows the Yammie out of the water for music, but two receivers confused the wife too much. Hence the sale.

    Thanks for looking!

    And thanks for the input mantis. It is certainly the most powerful receiver I have ever used. I couldn't get the volume to 1/2 with this thing...and never heard a bit of distortion....but I was afraid the rti38s wouldn't take any more.

    My deal with Woody is done. Receiver arrived double boxed 2 days after he received and cashed the check. A nice smooth transaction. Everything was as agreed. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.
