$999.99????? Denon have upped the price to $1,000!!!! You'd think with direct competition coming from the hadron collider, they'd need to lower it!

The price new is $9,999, not $999. The $999 one must be the cut rate version they sell to discount electronics sores.

I think it is just a case of Logitech trying to gouge the consumer. Their manufacturing costs did not increase anywhere close to that amount. I manufacture many products in china (these are made on Doungguan) and they are just trying to make a better profit to pay for their acquisition of Lifesize communications (for which they over paid) to explain to wall street. Don't accept it. Buy a closeout receiver and a nice pair of speakers for about the same price until they realize their mistake and lower their retail prices back down to the $270 level which still gives them a good profit and a reasonable valuue for the consumer.

Pioneer's web site says the list price if $599. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/PioneerReceivers/ci.VSX-1018AH-K.Kuro?tab=B If anyone really got it for less than Amazon's price it would be bennificial to let us all know where specifically you got it and did you get free shipping and no tax.

1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2. The satellite speakers on the 600 have a mid/range radiator on top. Evidently their bookshelf answer to their bi-polar drivers of the BP series.3. Subwoofer on the 600 has a 250 watt amp where as the 60.6 only has a 150 watt.That being said, I own the 60.6 and I am extremely happy. I use them with a Denon AVR-2310. If you have a larger than 400 sq ft theater space I would consider a second or more powerful sub. But at the current $219 (which is hilarious as the sub itself sells for $299) I see the set going for, its kind of hard to go wrong. 1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2.

You'd be better off e-mailing Denon USA with your concerns. I can't even try to download the update for this Blu-ray player from their website to test your hypothesis because Denon requires that you give them a serial number first.

Note: The price on Pioneer's website has just been raised by $50. Dang! I was just getting ready to cancel my Amazon order (I preordered when it first showed up on Amazon in March) and buy it on Pioneer's site until I saw the price change (I think it was the same as Amazon's price earlier in the week). I guess I'll have to wait until the units are available on Amazon. The rest of my new home theater system has arrived and has been setup for over a month. The speaker wires are hanging out of the wall waiting to plug into a shiny new receiver. I guess I'll wait a bit longer.

I came here from Uncrate.com who is reporting it only costs $650 with WIRED.com saying it's $600, but it's still selling here for $900. Either price point is absurd in my opinion, and I'm just as amazed as you are people are buying it at such a high cost.

Supply and demand. People want the best DVD player and this looks like it is if your into HD DVDs and have a ton of DVDs too. Still at $1,499 as of my post.

Ok, got a response this morning. "Kirby,You are correct in the speakers being the only difference between these models of Home Theater systems.Bob E.Again, thank you for contacting Onkyo and Integra USA Product Support, if you need further assistance feel free to call us at:..."So there we go. Right now Amazon lowered the price of the 7300 to $550 the 6300 is $500. I read a review for the 6300 that the surround speakers are a little big, which I think I see in the picture. So I'm not sure yet, what I'll do, if the extra $50 is worth the speaker shape difference and the stands. What are you all thinking? Ok, got a response this morning.

I paid a total of $20 for my Zenith DTT901 with free 2 day shipping at Amazon. However, I don't really believe these DTV boxes are worth $60. You people are not looking past retailers towards the actual manufacturers. If anyone is doing any gouging, it's the manufacturers. They are definitely taking advantage of the US government program and making a little extra off the top. There's something else you're not considering: the quality. Notice how the quality of MOST of these DTV boxes are SUBPAR. The manufacturers are actually taking advantage of pricing AND quality. The only DTV box I really trust is the Zenith and I still think it's overpriced at $60. All the rest are crap. I paid a total of $20 for my Zenith DTT901 with free 2 day shipping at Amazon.

Just checked Crutchfield and it's $999, 6th ave is out of stock but it's $999 also. Vanns had it for $599 last week. I might have to try Denon.

Dear Valued Customer: We at Denon understand our customers' concerns with being perceived as cheap, and we try to go the extra mile to make sure you walk away with an expression of sullen resignation on your face and a brand new AKDL1 in your hand. We even offer a gift receipt service in which we bronze and mount your transaction slip to a varnished sheet of ivory for display purposes; surely none of those jerks at work will dare call you cheap when they see THAT baby! In regards to your actual cable needs, we would recommend you purchase one of each type of cable just to be on the safe side. Not because there is any record of a Denon AKDL1 ever actually failing, but merely that any such failure would likely obliterate your house when the warp portal to Dimension X snaps shut, so spares are always nice to have. Also each cable provides a stackable +10 to Charisma and an immunity to HIV.

With the sale price on the Denon at $375, it's a no-brainer for me. I've alway been impressed with Denon's quality and features althought the remotes and manuals leave much to be desired. If you have the least bit of experience with AV electronics go with the Denon. It's simply a better built piece of equipment.
