Both receivers are great. I had the 8000z from onecall but it went bad after 3-months returned it to H/K. They did not have any more 8000's so after fighting with H/K they sent me a bran new 7200, witch I think is just as good. The base management alone is great in 6-8-channel mode.

One Call had the 7200 new for around $950 last month. Don't pay more than you should. They may drop it back down anytime. I see it for

Actually, it was $999 + shipping. Also, if you head over to ***************.com - check out their "group buys" section. OneCall is offering the 7200 again for $999 + shipping.
I picked one of these up and it was delivered last week. I thought I'd save the FedEx guy a hernia and hauled the receiver up into my house. He was so, so thankful of me. It weighs 75 Lbs. when packed for shipping. And, it's 20.5" deep - so ensure your area where you are going to install it is sufficiently sized.
At less than a grand for my 7200, I could kiss it daily - it sounds so great.

I bought an 8000z from OneCall that showed up DOA. I ended up with a 7200, but the whole process took 3 months. I wouldn't do it again, and I definitely will never deal with OneCall again.
The 7200 is pretty sweet, I am satisfied with the beast. If you decide on the 7200, you might consider Vanns.com. They are authorized and the 7200 goes for $1,074 (with free shipping). I've dealt with these guys a few times and I'm pretty impressed.

mxbum,
Sorry to hear of your situation. That really stinks -- such a long amount of time to get a DOA issue resolved.
Then again, your issue is about the first major piece of negative news I've heard regarding OneCall. Hopefully, I'd never experience such an issue of yours.

I hope you never do either, and the odds are good you won't. But things happen and thats the way its goes.
What I didn't care for is how OneCall handled it. I don't believe this to be an isolated or rarely occurring incident, at least no more rare than the number of defects that are shipped from OneCall. And I'm not saying that they ship a lot of defects, I'm just saying that among those that receive bad items, there are likely quite a few that are dissatisfied with OneCall. Isn't that when you know you've found a company you can trust and deal with? When there is a problem and they do what they can to take care of you.
If you do the research on other websites (BizRate, etc), you'll see the few that get nothing from OneCall when a problem arises and are rightfully ticked off about it. The ratings on these sites don't mean much either, since OneCall gives incentives for placing positive feedback. What to look for is people who had something bad happen, and how the company took care of them. You don't see much of that type of feedback on this company, but you do see the reverse (after wading through the feedback from every Joe who wanted his 1% kickback).
All in all though, I learned a lot. Not the least of which is to weigh lightly most of what you read on the Internet...
