thanks guys!

it's a good receiver, a bit dated but good sound quality and a ethernet connection (internet radio) but for $550.00 you could buy the Onkyo TXSR-607 and get alot more up-to-date features

I had the 898 which was just a step below the 901 I still have it in my upstairs system. I now have the 905. The Onkyo big boys are excellent receivers and pretty damn bullet proof. I find them easy to set up and calibrate and the manuals and remotes are top notch. I've owned 3 used models over the years and all have stood the test of time. A little hot but no matter what enclosure I've used none has ever crapped out on me. I think the price for so old a model is a bit "high" but if it sits you might get it cheaper. Used prices on Ebay and audiogon.com as a guide.
