Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Time to upgrade receiver

Mike, I am not sure if they ship to canada, but I would think so.

They are authorized dealers of everthing they sell as far as I know.

The denon 3808 which is MSRP $1599 was selling for $1299
The 2808 which is MSRP $1299 was selling for $899

I assume if you got the 2308 which is MSRP $899 you could get it ffor around $600

I am pretty sure they can offer a good deal on other brands as well.

I bought the 3808 from them and it arrived in Oklahoma in 4 days.

My advice would be to make sure you order from an authorized dealer. I know denon will only honor the factory warranty if the receiver is purchased from an authorized dealer

It says they do ship to Canada, but the price for the denon is back up to $1599.

I saw it on sale for $1299 online but I can't remember where. I'll check it out and post it for you.

The denon 2808 is on sale at AudioTronic.ca for $1188.88, and the 2308 for $948.88 (Canadian). Here's the links-

wheelz, JR.com always showed the MSRP price on their webiste. You had to call them to hear the special deals.

I did hear that they were going to stop the promotional price at some point.... so maybe that time has come?

I have never purchased anything from this web site and I don't know if they are a denon authorized dealer but they are currently selling the 3808 for $1194.00.

I can't provide the link to the 3808, so you'll have to do a search for it at their web site. Here's the link to it-

I just ordered an Onkyo 805 for my 80-500 system for 619, free shipping (refurbished unit) from shop onkyo. Unless you've got a big room like I do I'm not sure you'll need the 805. The 605 or 705 are well respected as well. But like others have said, I believe that just about anything of decent quality (yamaha, marantz, denon) will do fine.
Have fun!

The HK's should do fine as well.

I have ordered from ecost. I bought the Belkin PF60 from there, no problems what so ever. The warranty fo rthe Denons is by Denon as ecost is an authorized seller. The cdn pricing is higher than listed at ecost until you go do a check out and click on canadian pricing, even when our dollar was higher the cdn price was still more expensive; but cheaper than from any store up here.

I would see what deal you could get on Boxing day and go from there.

Futureshop usually has great deals on HK receivers around Boxing day. That's how I picked up my HK 630.

Mike, welcome. The M60s don't have any unusual requirements and there's no need to look for a specific receiver that would "pair" or "match" better with them. So, there's no "best solution" for you. If you've already studied the HK 247 closely and you like the features and price, there's no good reason not to go with it. Just to mention another excellent unit that fits your budget, you might also consider the Onkyo 605.

Thanks everyone for your help. JohnK do you know where in Canada I can get Onkyo products they seem to be hard to find and when I do they are very expensive compared to US prices. I would definitely consider the 605.

You can sometimes deal for a better price out of London Drugs. Not sure how much closer to US pricing you can get them to go, though.
