The repair will likely cost half the cost of the replacement unit, if you send it out for repair. My advise is to get the new version. It's better, too
I'm getting the RXV659 for my pops for his birthday. retail is 500.00. I'm getting it for 384.00 through a buddy... Pretty good deal. I think it has 2zones, too
I agree. After doing some more research on the 393. Although a good unit it was terribly underpowered with only 50wpc. and is now discontinued. there are a couple of new 394s on flea bay for about $220 with shipping. but it only steps up the power by 10wpc.
The 659 with 100wpc x7 @$384 is a good deal !
Good Luck .
