As I'm not in a hurry, I'll keep looking.
I've upped my budget a bit.
I'm not sure yet if new is the way to go, I tend to prefer the old stuff but there are the possible issues..
For now I've found other interesting used units, but I would like to know which ones would be the best deals, because I know they are of various lines/quality/price range.
All are used, prices in cad, no shipping needed
Harman Kardon HK 3350 - 75$
Yamaha RX-350 - 225$
Yamaha RX-396 - 200$
Yamaha AX-596 - 200$
Yamaha AX-640 - 120$
Yamaha DSP-A2070 - 200$
Onkyo TX 8220 - 225$
So let me know what you think,
Are there some good units sound wise and /or durability wise?
Are there know issues for a particular model?
What prices are (or aren't) fair?
Which ones could be bargained ?
The DSP A2070 seems to be the gem here but would it be well invested money? mostly considering I won't need half of it's capabilities anytime soon...

In new material, there are the Yamaha RS 202 and the Sony STRDH190 available for 200$
Are they equivalent? Is one actually slightly better?
