I am looking to upgrade my Yamaha RX-V367 and I found a couple open box deals for the VSX-70 ($390) and the RX-V740bl ($369). First off are these prices a great deal for these receivers? What are to pros and cons for each receiver? I honestly know very little about receivers. Thanks in advance for any help.
I decided to order the RX-740BL instead of the VSX-70. After during research I basically made the decision based on the brand. I read multiple issues with the newer Pioneer receivers and very little with the Yamaha models. I'm still able to change my decision so if anyone has any additional input it would be appreciated.
I've had good luck with Yamaha and I like their "warmer" sound better. $370 for a new-in-box Yamaha RXA-740 (I'm assuming you mean that model) is pretty solid.
Came across your post because I was considering the exact same two open box items... saw that you ordered the yamaha so I thought maybe there was only the one... but website still allowed me to order it, so I did.
It came today... and it was the receiver only. no power cable, no mic, no remote, no manual.
product was listed as excellent, and damage said none. I'd expect if it was missing the items needed to make it function that would be listed somewhere.
Just curious as to if you received yours yet, and if so, did it have all the parts/pieces?

Thanks for info.
Contacted BB on phone and they were very cool about it and took care of everything. Now time to set it up and hear it!!
