Second hand receiver?

Hi there guys would you be able to recommend a good 5.1 receiver? I mainly going to use it for music and some movies. I'm not really into atmos/DTS. I've found Yamaha dsp Ax2 quiet cheap (50pounds). Any ideas if it's any good?

Also any other recommendations for a receiver under 100 pounds, second hand. I dont have cash at the moment to spend on new receiver and my old one just decided to make static noise.

Any idea how it might compare to dsp-ax2?

I've found Denon 1911 for 100 pounds locally. However, the seller has said "There is no hissing popping or dead channels but it needs good ventilation as gets quite warm when playing music loudly and then cuts out if too hot. Good ventilation solves this though", which got me thinking that it has cut on him. So could this cause any damage? I'm aware that there is a protection mode built in to prevent permanent damage. He is happy to show it working. Although is there anything I need to look out for? I know if a receiver has a burned smell not to buy it but is there anything else?
