As some of you know, I'm in pursuit of a "hatrick" (which I define as three sales made based on my advice-mostly obtained from this forum).
I've never purchased anything from an online retailer such as "etronics" or audio advisor. I figure in another month or two I'll have enough money to buy myself an RX-V1400.
I have found a potential guinea pig in a friend/co-worker of mine who is thinking of purchasing a Denon or Yamaha unit from etronics very soon (based on price alone).
I've always recommended avoiding dealing with merchants online, mostly for warranty purposes, but etronics claim to repair any problems at no expense anyway during the would-be warranty period. It's no fun being without a receiver for 3 weeks, but for 200 or 300 bucks, it's almost worth the chance.
I'm just getting old, out of touch, and too set in my ways? Am I a sucker for paying too much?
Can anyone share any positive or negative buying experiences (especially buying either brand of receiver) from online retailers (etronics, audioadvisor, jandr etc.) to pursuade us one way or another?
Thanks in advance...
