I came across a Harmon Kardon Receiver, almost never used in box, for $200. A 7.1 system, model DPR1005. About 2 years old I think, MSRP was $1500.
I realize electronics once used have quite a drop off, but not this much.
My first thought was, its broken, or its hot. But, when I checked the internet auction sites, prices were very low. Much lower than I expected, not quite down to $200 but not that far off either. It seemed pretty much a universal thing - digital path receivers, even ones that are fairly new, just don't cost that much.
So, why is this? I don't have a handle on it. At $200, I was going to use it as a 'zone 3' amp for my current needs. I want to stem an outdoor/patio system off of my Pioneer VSX94. And zone 3 requires the use of separate amp with digital ins. Why not the Harmon Kardon AVR for this I am thinking.
