10-4 on that. Here is the circuit city link for those interested.
Potentially a pretty hot deal, especially considering they'll throw in speakers AR. I'm going to head up there tomorrow. $1500 MSRP....Circuit City PM 499.99 - 10% = 449.99 + 3 speakers....sweet
Just need to find cash

Yeah, it's 10% off the difference, so only $20. It's only 50W/channel, but H/K's rating is more realistic compared to others. BTW, you can get H/K's top-of-the line, AVR7200 for $850 at oncecall.com if they still have it.

the bay area fry's ad lists this receiver on sale for $599. how come the bay area fry's prices always seem to be higher? anyways, has anyone seen any good reviews on this receiver? my guess is that it hasn't been selling too well, maybe because people aren't ready to jump on the all-digital receiver bandwagon yet.

Well, I called Onecall.com the other day and informed them of the price at Fry's and they decided to reduce the price for all customers, thier price is 499.21 + s/h (no sales tax to most!), here is a Link to it.

If going strictly by the numbers; all other things being equal, the audible difference between a 50W and a 75W amplifier is negligible (less than 2dB). Doubling the power of an amp (from say, 50 to 100W) only gives you a 3 dB increase, which is considered "noticeable". To double the apparent sound level (a 10dB increase) you need 10 times the power.Originally posted by: huesmann
Y'all might be happier with something with a little more power than 50W/ch. I know H/K is honest about their power ratings, so you're likely to actually get those 50 watts, but unless you have a very small room it won't be enough. I tried the HK 325 receiver which was rated at 55W/ch but decided on the 525 with 75W instead because the 325 sounded a little weak in my room.

I like how the laid out the back on this. REally nice and clean. Unlike some other Amps...
Onecall has a pretty good pic. I wonder how much shipping would be? I guess if I were to get one I'd prob just go to frys or PM it a CC.
No, it's not.Originally posted by: huesmann
It's not a function of how loud it is, it's a function of how powerful it sounds. You might be able to get the same dB level (or close) out of something with a little less wattage, but it's the distortion. Your 50W might give you 90dB at max power, but with distortion, whereas the 100W could give you 90dB without distortion.
