When it comes to placing our hard earned stacks of cash on the counter for the purchase of new equipment, we usually want to get the best price. The internet offers prices well below those of retail establishments but the store gives you the experience. I completely understand why retail establishments must charge more but are the advantages of a retail establishment worth the large price increase?
In my situation I could get the yamaha rxv2400 a little cheaper online than a rxv1400 in the store. Same equipment, warranties etc and tax ends up equaling shipping. I know it all comes down to what i'm comfortable with but i've done high dollar purchases in both situations and i've had no problems. Just wondering how things have gone for you in the world of home theater.
The main point of my post is for a little story telling. For all of you that have bought equipment in store or online please relate your experiences to me. The good the bad & the ugly
