7.1 Channel Dolby Digital EX Surround Receiver - TX-SR602S Silver Manufacture Reconditioned.

Do u think thay would be ok beeing reconditioned and all?

Specs look very similar on those units.

If you had a brand of speakers picked out it would be best to try to find someone or somewhere that you could do a demo and see what you liked more.
I don't know if it's worth the effort and hassle to do that at this pricepoint though.

Either one should be good.

They're all good ones.

I don't think anybody is going to be able to give you a definitive answer on which one is the best choice.

If you can get the SX-HTB for $250 shipped or less, then sure.

Thats a fine choice as a receiver. What sound card do you have? You will be able to get surround sound by using analog (using adapters to change the 1/8th inch to RCA), or if you have a card capable of dolby digital live encoding (but I doubt that) then you can use digital coax/optical.

For just $220 you are limiting yourself in terms of a surround setup. At that point you are better off building a system from the ground up..slowly.

Well for 220 unless i get a cheaper RX what should i start out with? Also im just useding the built in audio from my mobo (Abit AN8-SLI)

You might as well drop down to this receiver.

It is basically identical, and yet cheaper.

How much money does that leave you for speakers? close to $240?

Whats the feture diffrentces on the 502? I read it has alot less for 20 bux. Also i dont rilly like the front design... Looks cheap

You should be able to get the AV-HTB set from ebay for about that much.

Don't trust ecost on the features.

Looks like the main difference is 7.1 vs 6.1
Also, looks like the 503 has one more component input (3 vs 2)

Other than that I think they're pretty much the same thing.

502 rear (drag and drop link)

503 rear

Bass will be fine... you're going to want a sub eventually though.

I dident look off of ecost for the specs, Onkyo's web site dosent eavn have the 502 i just read in some reviews that it had a good amount less fetures.

Eather way what would i get for 20 bux more if i do get the 502?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 770s come with pretty much a 502... and I think the 780 comes with a 503?
