I have the opportunity to buy a Yamaha RX-Z1 from a friend because he is getting their newest Flagship model RX-Z9 (I think). Anyway, if I can get this for about $1,000.00, is that a good deal? A saleman told me that for that same price, I could get a new Yamaha with the Room equalizer and their newer features (love the idea of the equalizer). I'm sure he wants a sale but I thought I'd check here. I currently have a 6.1 setup and could easily hook up thier "presence" speakers. I had originally looked at the Rx-v750 or 1400. Also, I guess the RX-Z1 has no bass management. Is that a big deal? Someone else told me that the RX-Z1 would sound significantly better when listening to SACD's and DVD-A's. Any suggestions? Thanks
