Paying full list price for audio equipment is pretty much unheard of, that's even rarer than paying list price for a car. Further this credit/rebate is restricted to use at Amazon, unlike the usual rebate.

That better be one hot receiver because the mechanics of the offer stink big time.

Well, first time I clicked the link 5 minutes ago it was live... just now I went to read the fine print... expired.

edit: and what's funny is that it "expired" on Dec 2, 2014

I didn't get a chance to check out the deal thoroughly but... I'm going to have to side with Thump on this one. It had better have been a KICKASS receiver lol

I took the offer about half a day before the OP. Yes, you shouldn't buy this receiver for $1299. But the street price is just over $1000, excluding eBay sellers. So $899 is a good deal, not an amazing deal.

Today, I do see exactly one shop offering it for $899 straight up, if anyone is still interested (http://www.rythercamera.com/catalog/product_info.php?csv=pg&products_id=52055). I was waffling between the X4000 and an Emotiva bundle for $799: http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/processors/products/umc-200-upa-700-bundle. Audyssey MultEQ/XT32 and SubEQ tipped the scales for me, but the Emotiva deal looks pretty good for those who want separates.

As for Amazon credit, that's as good as cash to those of us who do a lot of shopping there. And as a little added bonus, my Amex 3% cashback applies to the whole $1299, so I'm actually at $860 on this unit -- only $200 more than I paid in 2008 for a refurbished and unsatisfying Onkyo.

the emotiva deal is dead

please show me an Authorized Denon dealer that sells denon x-4000 at less than msrp. Denon will not touch your receiver if it's not from an authorized dealer.

 

[alaricljs]

That sounds like why the Amazon deal was the convoluted thing that it was.

the receiver has multeq xt32, subeq, and audyssey LFC.

And now it's back. Odd.

The emotiva amp might be better, but the processing can't hold a candle to the denon, especially the room correction. Also only 4 HDMI inputs is a bit limiting for some

Authorized dealers can discount 10-30% off of products. You must call and speak to someone to get any discount at all.

ListenUp and Paul's TV will both sell for less than MSRP with just a phone call.

POOPS! Missed it.

 

[tasukete]

POOPS! Missed it.

Missed what? It looks like you can still get the Denon at $899 from Ryther (not an authorized dealer, apparently). The Emotiva deal is still live. Or you can try ajskydiver's suggestion to get 30% off from an authorized dealer, which would be $910.

 

[vshah]

try calling electronics expo, they often give lower prices over the phone and they are an authorized dealer.

avscience.com are authorized dealers and JD will hook you up with as good a deal or better, when it comes to Denon and many other products.

It's part of the well known avsforum.

Not really. Spoke with him today and the lowest they would go with shipping was $1010 ($975 + $35 shipping). They will not match $899.

Fy.i, I, you can get it from accessories4less for $799 right now. It's a refurb, but it they are authorized and it has a warranty.
