Onkyo M5010 for $85?

[GFOviedo]

So, I just received this Onkyo amplifier M5010 that will be replacing an old AVR that I’ve got hooked up with my Denon HEOS Link as my patio set up. I think this would be much better than having to manually turn on/off and turn the volume up/down as well. Now, I can do all that via the HEOS or Spotify app.

That's a deal! $85???

Where did you pick it up?

At the AVS Forum.

I haven't taken it out. I keep getting calls from work to come in early or to stay over, which is affecting and preventing me from completing my school work in a timely manner. I'm currently looking for a different job with better hours, but so far nothing! I can't wait to finish and graduate!

I will most likely, hook it up to my Denon HEOS Link this weekend. These are an outdoor set up, and I'm still working on building something for it to protect them during the winter time.

Here are some pics of it. Now, this is going in the back patio area, which is covered, but I want to either build or buy an enclosure for it so it can be protected from the elements. Any ideas? Prolly a cabinet of some sort?

So I tested the set up today, to only get disappointed since I can’t control the volume via the HEOS app or Spotify app. I didn’t know this amp has a volume control on the back and that’s how the volume level is control, which is a worse set up than before.

I’m going to have to move this set up to the garage and move the BlueSound PowerNode to the patio. This sucks.
