SO Amazon is selling this for what is basically 50% off
http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AVR-X41...?ie=UTF8&qid=1441323388&sr=8-1&keywords=x4100
the x4100 is the 2014 model and is extremely feature packed for the price
most likely the price drop is due to the 2015 models coming out (x4200)
the 4100 is nearly the same and gives up very little
you can do the comparison at denons site here

looks like they are cutting the price on all 2014 models
