I am shopping for receivers and it seems the best prices are always from the unauthorized dealers. (most authorized dealers pretty much sells it at msrp or close to it)
The thing is a lot of those unauthorized dealers have good customer feedback and reviews (epinions.com, bizrate.lycos.com, shopping.com, pricegrabber.com, ..etc)

I am wondering if any of you would recommend buying from unauthorized dealers and just take a chance? I've owned Kenwood, Sony, Harmon Kardon in the past and non of them ever failed.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated,
Thanks,

Jack
