Luxman r-800 worth $100?

ginsner · 16th August 2006, 08:27 PM

I just found a Luxman R-800 reciever for sale for $100cad in town here.
Anybody Know if this is a decent reciever?

i do have a R-113 that i am trying to fix and it was alright.
If i can get it working properly it is going to be the new garage stereo along with my mission 700s but if that is a real deal for the 800 i might go that way and scrap the 113

sounds like a good deal to me, i've liked all the Luxman gear i've heard.

Hi ginsner,
As long as it's working and hasn't been "hacked" - yes.

Alright I have a bit of a garage sale/surplus store addiction
but holy am i good
this weekend i picked up a bunch of yamaha stuff for next to nothing
1. a CDX-520 a decent player with a digital output $12
2. a CDC-625 changer with a RX-450 reciever $20 (came with speakers that aren't worth mentioning)

the only things wrong are the single cd player and the reciever both need new lamps for the displays

This trend to dvd and multi channel is great.

the yamaha amp's a nice catch, especially for the price. i like to collect old receivers and stuff too.
