I feel bad now.My Onkyo is bravely holding on though some of the individual amps within are no longer functional after a very close lightning strike a year or two back destroyed four or five electronic components. (All of them being somewhat aged or otherwise covered, there was no point in making an insurance claim on my homeowner's policy.)
I can still use it for watching TV in Dolby D, and for music which can share the input...but it's definitely a wounded duck at this point.
I have a friend that owns a “high end” AV installation company. He does a lot of commercial installations, but most of his business is for fairly wealthy people at their homes. When his customers revamp their home theaters he hauls their old equipment off for them. It’s usually in full working order but they want the latest and greatest.
Earlier this spring I went and loaded up a bunch of stuff and brought it back to my town to give away to neighbors. I had three Onkyo and four Denon receivers. Five slim plasma TVs (hitachi, Samsung and Sony) a few Sony Bravia led TVs.
I kept a 55” tv because my family room is small.
And I was just down in your area recently. If I had only known.
