i am able to get this unit for under $500 USD - should I go for it? what are any pro/cons - thanks

thats an excellent price on that...id say some pros are its got a removable face,bolby Processing and the cons are built in center channel dosen't handle high power. better to use external center channel. also it doesnt come with a screen built in..but for less then 500 its a good buy Id say, but i would still get one with a built in screen as well

you're right - but why such a HUGE markdown even if they are not used models? Is it discontinued or any problems?
