Onkyo TX-SR605 BARGAIN - £330 - 505 Approx £210!

Went to sevenoaks today to see what offers they had on the above amps - 15% off each!

So swiftly made my way to richer sounds who pricebeat by 10 quid! So get 15% + £10 off the RRP!

Cant wait to set it up!

Thats quite scary as I was looking at buying this amplifier today. Problem is Sevenoaks is closed tomorrow so I can't get Richer too price match and Sevenoaks don't list prices on the internet. How much exactly was the 605 and is this store specific or nationwide? Sorry for all the questions.

Cheers

Need to know urgently how I can get Richersounds to price match this as they need evidence that they are doing the 15% off.

Cheers guys!

So £350 still not too bad. Its bloody heavy though

Bugger! Is there any other sites with an offer I can take to richer sounds, all the links seem to be back up to full price.

OR

Has anyone got a hard copy of an offer that could be scanned that they could put on here?

Agreed. I was teetering on the brink of buying one of these beasts and this will seal the deal is anyone happens to find something I can use at Richer! :D

Re: Onlkyo TX-SR605 BARGAIN - £330 - 505 Approx £210!

Now you didnt hear it from me but hifIx apparently will honour their original sale price of £340 if you ring and ask about it, but at the moment it may be atleast the end of the month as there is a backlog.

If you want to try get it sooner richer sounds will probably meet you half way as normally they will ring to verify stock.... and a this guy doesnt have any.... oh and you will need to email hifix asking about it, to show something to richer.... As i'm in Belfast I happily enough settled for the 5 year guarantee for free as delivery to/from mainland for the sake of say £15-20wouldnt be worth it

Re: Onlkyo TX-SR605 BARGAIN - £330 - 505 Approx £210!

Dont know if its any use, I am looking at the Onyko TX-SR605 and I popped into Audio T in Brighton to ask a couple of questions.

They are currently selling it £400 but one of the guys in the shop there said there was 10% off until the end of the month (though some of the sales signs in the window did say 15% on selected products). So thats £360.00 if thats any use?

Their contact details are:

69 London Road
Brighton
East Sussex BN1 4JE
t 01273 609431
f 01273 690452
e brighton@audio-t.co.uk
contact Julian, Paul and John

Perhaps if you email them they wil lconfirm the price or your local richer could al least do a price match (if thats possible).

Re: Onlkyo TX-SR605 BARGAIN - £330 - 505 Approx £210!

I eventually got an email from hifix stating that they would honor the price @ £340, but by the time theyd replied id already bought it from richersounds in preston. I asked them if theyd match krishav's price of £389 + a further £10 off for pricematch.

I also made the £40 purchase of the 5 yr warranty. this was because my luck with av equipment is taking a decline @ the moment. this is refundable after 5years!!

i also needed some speaker cable. I enquired & got 15m chucked in for free. so i got my amp for £419 5yr warranty + 15m of gale speaker cable.

maybe not such a bargain, but im happy. now for some decent speakers!

btw i have the email from hifix should anyone require it to 'edit'

Re: Onlkyo TX-SR605 BARGAIN - £330 - 505 Approx £210!

OK, I'm looking to buy this amp and was looking on web to get best price.

I looked on AVWOW:
http://www.avwow.com/p/onkyo-7-1-cha...iver-tx-sr605/
and there is a statement on this page:
"AV WOW will not just Price Match, AV WOW will beat our lowest Competitor by 5%* on this item"

Which sounds pretty good to me and it means that now I’ll have to find the cheapest deal on the net and then get them to price beat it by 5%.

So far I came across this:
http://www.quantumelectronics.co.uk/..._tx_sr605.html

Stated price is £399.00 however they have 10% sale going on so when you move it to basket it shows up as £359.10. According my maths if AVWOW would price beat it then it would be £341.14 (plus they offer free delivery). Well it wouldn't be bad deal at all but I just was wondering is there any other place that would sell it cheaper than Quantum Electronics (£359.00) so I could get it even cheaper if AVWOW would do the price beat?
