Yamaha RX-V1400 in the T.O. Area? (1 Viewer)

[Steve Young]

I am interested in picking up this receiver or maybe even the 2400 if the price was right. Can anyone tell me if they have seen either of these receivers for a good price in this area?

Thanks
Steve

Check out Update Audio on Spadina.

They are an authorized dealer and sell the 1400 for $1.000.00 including tax - If you pay cash. I think this is an excellent price as they normally sell in T.O, for $1050 plus tax.

The model they sell includes the IIX firmeare upgrade. Email me as I might be intersested in one as well (I'm still deciding whether to buy one) and we might even get two for less.

Just to give you T-dot folks an idea, I managed to get my RX-V2400 for $1120 CDN plus taxes here in Montreal. You should shoot for that price point for the 2400, so in my opinion $1050 for the 1400 is a little pricey. As for $1000 tax-in, paid cash for the 1400, please make sure for your own sake that you get a receipt and that the seller is authorized by Yamaha otherwise Yamaha will revoke your 2-year manufacturer's warranty. You can verify the list of authorized resellers on Yamaha Canada's website.

By the way, I got mine from Stereo Plus in St-Eustache, Quebec.

"Update" on Spadina Ave. is definitely an authorized dealer.

I called Yamaha in Toronto and they confirmed this - so the full warranty would be in effect.

The store is in a mall and the store is very modest in size and displays - no listening rooms etc, really just a spot to go to make a purchase.

So I guess that's the reason for the good prices.

Just saw the RX-V1400 for $940 at EHR in Hamilton.

Just for reference purpose, the 1400 is listed at 1200 cdn and the 2400 at 1400 cdn. So, 1000 tax included for the 1400 is a very good deal. BTW, where exactly is Update Audio located? Thanks.

On Spadina Ave, between Queen & Dundas in Chinatown (West side of street) They are on the second floor of the shopping plaza. Sorry I donèt know the exact street number. A no-frills place but good prices.

Bought a Yamaha 1400 today for $1,000.00 including tax. Comes in a sealed box and you get a written receipt for warranty purposes.

The 2400 is $1,170.00 including taxes.

As I mentioned a no-frills place and it's actually on the main floor not the second.

Tell them Chris sent you, as I told them there could be some more biz from the Home-Theater-Forum gang!

Good luck.

Chris,

You got a good deal! The price for the 2400 is great. It will definitely worth my while to drive down. Enjoy!!

Wow, that's an incredible price for the 2400! I paid $1280 including taxes for my 2400 and I thought that was an awesome price!

Take a look at today's Toronto Sun. There's an audio store that had the 1400 priced at $950(with a slash through it).

man...how do dealers survive slashing the prices that low...? It's great for you guys, but I'd hate to have to run a store without making money!

[Lee Distad]

...you slash and burn, and hope to God you hit your mark to get a volume rebate from the vendor!

If warranty coverage is a concern I would call Yamaha Canada to verify that the store that is selling Yamaha product is "Authorized"

I checked out one Yonge St.. store that was selling the 1400 - and Yamaha told me that the store in question was not a Yamaha dealer and that they wouldn't cover warranty repairs.
