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??

If heat is not an issue and he can get it fixed I would say it is a pretty good deal. $350 would be what I would offer somebody for that receiver. If you want a little bit higher quality receiver in that price range I would check this one out:

What did your brother in law get to replace the 706?
