Having been in the industry for about 15 years, I can tell you this about refurbs. As a rule, if you get a good one, it will last as long as an "A-stock" unit. However there is a higher rate of "out of the box" defects. The reason is that a certain percentage of units returned as defective have an intermittant defect, which does not turn up when the refurb tech checks the unit. The tech may then chalk the complaint up to user error and release the unit as fine, when in fact the defect is still there. For this reason, knowing the initial exchange policy on a refurb is useful. But as for buying the extended warranty, I wouldn't make this decision any differently based on whether the unit was a refurb or not. If there is an uncorrected problem related to the unit being a refurb, it is likely to crop up shortly after purchase (well within the factory warranty).When I was building my HT system I watched this site religiously. Then up popped the TX-SR600. Bought it refurbished and two weeks later it was dead. It's not a refurb for nothing.

<BR><BR>They're not Klipsch, Axiom, Polk etc., but they're still excellent entry-level home theater speakers that do a good job at replaying music, and an even better job at recreating a 5.1 movie experience. If you have good ears, you might notice that mid-range, while good, could be more detailed and less laid back. But I'm a fan of Klipsch speakers. Besides, the Onkyo receiver will be ready to accept better speakers when you decide to purchase them.Originally posted by: FFactory0x<BR>Onkyo have nice recievers. Speakers suck though

After you bought a system from shoponkyo.com, did they give you additional points for future purchase?
If so, how many points did you get?

Heck if I remember...I do want to say I got my HTiB and I am real happy with it.
It sounds terrific. It looked like brand new when I got it (still does!).
