I've had this unit for a while, (December 2004), It's bullet proof, I paid 269.10 from OneCall.com, I bought along with The Panny SAXR 70S , they were the first units on the market (at a reasonable price point) with HDMI...I love them, they formed the core of my HT. Two years later they still rock!
