Fry's sales on Yamaha Receivers

[BigSmooth]

If you live near a Fry's and need a receiver, keep an eye on the Yamahas. They appear to be slowly clearing them out, probably to make room for new models. They've been putting one or more on sale each week and the prices are gradually getting lower. They did the same exact thing late last year with the old line of Harman/Kardon receivers.
Yamaha makes very nice receivers; generally speaking, they are very well constructed and produce quality sound.

For an example of the types of sales they're having, this morning's Oregonian listed the Yamaha HTR-5550 on sale for $197, whereas it would cost at least $300 shipped from online vendors. I've seen the 5540 and 5560 on sale recently also.

Anyways, just a heads up to keep an eye on the Fry's ads if you're looking for a receiver.

Sure, no prob. I know only a few people would be able to take advantage of something like this, but I figured it never hurts to post it.

any advice on which receivers are good?

I went to Fry's last night. None of the Yamaha receivers were on sale in the LA area stores.

Yamaha Receivers are nice. I love my HTR-5460 that I got about two years ago.

I have the Yamaha HTR-5550, I love it. Produces excellent sound and home theatre surround. Bought it last year from BB w/my empoyee discount right before I quit in March.

Sorry! But this is YMMV, I'd just check the ads and maybe call the store before going (I suggest calling when they're not busy or you'll never get through).

Yeah there have been very good deals on Yamaha receivers at Oregon wilsonville's fry's recently.

When I want to know if something is on sale at Fry's, I just go there. I live a block away from one.

Frys does this periodically. I ended up getting a Kenwood THX Receiver for $100 last November. It was a floor model and it works perfectly.
