First timer here :-)
I was looking for an AV Receiver some time and eyeed for the Denon-AVRX2300WBKE2. It has never been so cheap so I don't know how long it lasts. It's currently EUR 444.00 which brings it down EUR 373.11 ex Tax, plus EUR 84,97 delivery. Anyway, I believe it's still around 50% cheaper than in Oz..
Oh curses! I ordered the X1300W when it was on sale at Amazon.de last week.
The X2300W adds a few niceties, like 15kW more power, 2 more HDMI in, a second HDMI out, video processing and component video switching.
No local warranty either (but the fact it's half the local price means you can ship another one out and still be no worse off).
