Tom, i bought my 3802 for $1460 CAD (+15% tax) at tabangi electronics. But with that said, i hate the guys at tabangi and would never buy anything from there unless they are the only ones who carry it or would offer the best deal. If you are going to go there, be sharp these guys are f*ck|ng swindlers.
Tom, as an aside, be aware that Denon may not honor warranty work if you buy online. I have heard more than one horror story about this, as Denon does not authorize their stuff to be sold on the internet.
I see you're in Ottawa, which is where 'Audioshop' is. They seem pretty good with their web prices. have you tried them? Good luck
Yes I did try the Audioshop,however they do not deal in Denon products. The best I could do would be a Marantz sr8200 @2500 plus the evil taxes. This pretty much puts it at the middle of the 2 Denons. Unfortunately I am currently running a set of dipoles and direct radiators as A/B surrounds, which I would like to keep. I have seen some good deals Stateside But I dont want to buy online - So I was wonderring if any one was able to buy either rcvr for a competitive US price in Canada.
