What are your thoughts on purchasing a refurbished/recertified Denon receiver from ecost.com? I usually do not buy anything refurbished, but they have some killer deals.


Their Denon receivers come with a 90 day warranty.

I'd check out Dakmart first. They are an authorized refurb dealer for Denon.

Dakmarts problem is that they charge almost as much for their refurbs as some authorized dealer for new. Their prices are laughable.

I wouldn't have a problem with getting a refurb. But there will be a guy coming on here name of googlegod and he will tell you every horror story he can think up to sway you. Don't mind his nonsense. Refurbs can be a very good deal.


Short and sweet, I bought my Denon 789 from Circuit City the day they closed. The reason they still had it was because it was broken and I got a killer deal. I in turn sent it in to Denon service, had it repaired, and have been completely satisfied ever since. Basicly, it is a 'refurbished' unit now. The 789 will be 1 year old here this month. So as you can tell, there is nothing wrong with refurb'd equipment.

Refurbs are fine, ecost on the other hand, not so good .


I buy a lot of refurb gear, including PCs. So far, my experience has been every bit as good as my experience buying new, just for less money

As poor as Ecost's resellerating is, I've never understood why Denon would allow them to be an "authorized" e-tailer. Not to mention they only provide a 90 day warranty vice the 1 year warranty that Dakmart provides.

Thanks guys, I ended up getting a GREAT deal on a new Denon AVR-3310 from an authorized dealer. You would be surprised how much a 5 minute chat session with a sales rep can save you

Can you PM me with the price you paid and from whom?

I would have purchased one from here. But that's just me.
