Denon is ripping off us Canadians. they want $6000msrp USD for the 5805. i checked the Can. site and they want $8950msrp CAD.
now doing the exchange rate thing, i come up with $7524 CAD that's a difference of $1426 CAD. or $1137.16 USD. what's with that?why would it be that more expensive in Canada? i think i'll be shipping from the U.S. from now on,for everything.

    Drakem...I am in the same boat. The 3805 is $1500 in Canada and the 2805 is $1000. I see on line I can get a 3805 for $800 US ($1000 Canadian). And those prices were quoted to me because I was a friend of the salesman's brother...

    let me know if you see anywhere in Canada , possibly on line, that prices are cheaper...Thanks!

    The 3805 retails for $1199 in the US, so $1500 really isn't that far out of line. As for the 5805 isn't $6000 a ripoff for it too? hehe

    I agree, for less money you could buy an Anthem preamp and a big power amp like one from Outlaw Audio.

    OK, first of all, you can't even consider going seperates based on the pricepoint that you're looking to stay in with the recevier issue.

    Just stick with your receiver options in your other thread(s).
