the thing would stop me from buying any of these is that if something was to happen to one of them, can it still be repaired, as they are getting old and parts might not be available.

would cost you more to ship it both ways, parts / labor than it would be worth.

another thing the OP would need to consider is with these older models , they are older technically and won’t have the same features the newer models have

 

think with this info we have put out there, the op might look at something newer

The guy selling the VSX-94 TXH said the MSRP on the unit was $2000 back in 2008, does that mean it is high end for that year? 

what else would it mean?
