Onkyo HT-S660 & HT-S760 @ Fry's

[congaboy77]

Hey guys,
This is my first "hot deals" post, so go easy. I went to my local Fry's today and they had the Onkyo HT-S660 for $199.97. The price on the website is still $299.99, so YMMV.

Ecost has it for 229.99 REFURBISHED with shipping running around $60 after the $30 rebate

I also saw the HT-S760 for $329.99. This is a drop from the $499.99 they had it at last week. It is a clearance item, but is NIB.
Ecost has it for 199.99 plus $100 shipping, but it is a Refub

Best yet, CC had it for $499.99 with a $50 MIR. They will not PM Fry's because it is listed as a clearance item. I went and tried anyways with no luck.

Main 2 differences I saw between 660 and 760 is that the 660 is 5.1 while 760 is 6.1. Thus, the 760 has 100 more watts due to the extra channel. The 760 also has component inputs while the 660 does not. Also, there is a slight cosmetic difference. The speakers on the 760 are a little thinner, and the buttons are also a placed differently.

Still waiting for Onkyo to come out with Dolby IIx decoding in their HTiB systems before I take the plunge. The wait shouldn't be much longer either...

san marcos - 399.99
Industry - OOS (was 199.97)
Anahein - 399.97
SD - 399.97 (this is the same as the HT-S670...the bastards wont drop the price)

do you think that the other stores will follow suit and clearance these?

My local Fry's is in Plano, TX. They had 15 of the 660's in stock. My old roommate bought one and we set it up. Well worth $200. The sale ran out today, I'm going to check what the price is tomorrow.

is that receiver or receiver and speakers?

im in SD and neither fry's here (san diego and san marcos) had them at those prices. does anyone else notice that the texas fry's always gets slightly better deals? i bought the S660 for 239 a couple weeks back at SD fry's.

Speakers and Receiver. I think it's a great deal, been watching it for a while. The online deals would be nice, but the shipping averages $100.

My sister went to the Torrance Macmall store yesterday and got the 760 refurb for $229 + tax. Little under $250. Great deal I think.
