I considered this but ultimately felt that the convenience of being able to return a piece for repair/replacement locally rather than having to ship it back to Onkyo was worth the little extra I paid at Circuit City. Plus I got no interest until May 2005 so I get to pay about $45 per month (bought a couple other things) rather than the whole thing upfront.

By the way, maybe it's my imagination but it sounds even better to me today
