BTW you can get the 806 for $600 new and the 706 for $500 new.

max i'd probably be looking @ $750 but i'd like to stay around $550-$600 if possible.

space isn't a problem b/c i will probably end up w/an open shelf/stand w/the back and sides open. nothing will be built into any cabinets or the wall or anything like that.

no specifics i have in mind @ this time.

i plan on having a pretty basic set up.....tv, ps3, recv'r, full surround set up, possibly cable box or satellite @ some time.

feel bad, no....but if it's avail. and works good and is a good price, i figured why not take advantage of a good deal??
