Put the Audyssey aside for now - how does this look for the price?

Re-branded onkyo...

I know - they did not sell much of them - discontinued with in a year.

 

[zieglj01]

However, due to the price - I went the next step up - the PA-R200 > $188 new from Ebay

Which Onkyo model is this rebranded from?

Which Onkyo model is this rebranded from?

There will be some things different - however, it looks to be based off the Integra/Onkyo 30.4 receiver

Onkyo bought into Teac/Tascom - now Gibson (guitar), has bought into Onkyo/Teac. Tascom is the pro
side of Teac.

It's more like the 20.4 than the 30.4 on the integra side. no pre outs and 5.1 vs 7.1

Whoa...

PA-R200 > $188 new from Ebay

That's an great price for everything the PA-R200 does...

Wish I had the extra $...

Love to see how sounds compared to my old VSX-1016...

My answer was for the PA-R200

The PA-R100 favors the 20.4

They still have them - plus also, the PA-R100 for $131

The Tascam is defininately sexier than the Integra. Like that Orange/Red display.

Mine will be here Monday - it ships from the Dallas area.

With a nice photo spread right?

With a nice photo spread right?

No cell phones, or the likes of Kindle yet. Time will tell.......

I've been thinking about buying one of the PA-R100's off ebay... but knowing it's an Integra DTR-20.4 inside, and knowing there have been issues with video over HDMI with that Integra model, I'm hesitant.

Jim, have you have any HDMI problems with the Tascam you got?

That is a negative - No - none

For $350, I would rather get a Denon E400:

I replaced my Denon with the Tascam PAR-200

Now look at this price on a new PAR-100

Get it as a backup or just buy: http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Stylus-VG-180-Megapixel-Compact/dp/B00C7NX884/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1407958604&sr=8-16&keywords=Compact+camera

The camera looks cool/good - I will think about that - now I have to decide, a camera or them
Micca 42x speakers? I ordered the Micca's and cancelled it. However, still thinking.

I have been thinking about another Tascam for a back up - a nice receiver - a serious good price.
Now if you want Airplay - then buy the Apple TV - for $209 you got something cheap and cheerful.
