I've got a budget to follow, under $300.00.


So fellow AVS'ers which one would you buy....


New Sony dg720 for $250 -- circuit city


or


Refurbished Onkyo 605 for $260/270 ish ----REFURBISHED...


I realize the Onkyo is a better receiver...but refurbished?


thanks,

Depending on where you're getting it from I wouldn't worry about refurbished. I've purchased many onkyo refurbs from shoponkyo.com and accessories4less.com and only had 1 issue that was taken care of promptly.


Anywhere else I have no experience with onkyo refurbs but make sure they are an authorized dealer and carefully check out the terms and conditions and return policy, procedures, shipping, restocking fee if any, etc etc. You can also get further customer reviews and ratings on a etailer at resellerratings.com.
