Onkyo TX-SR606 for £300 Delivered!

Everyone, if you want to buy the ONKYO 606 then call HIFIX (Frank Harvey Hi-Fi Excellence) in Coventry and you can have this for £300 delivered!!!! At this price you will not get the HDMI lead free which is on their website.

*** Important ***
You need to ask for KEVIN and say that "GEE" told you about the price, otherwise it is £340 with a HDMI lead.

HiFix the Hi Fi and Audio professionals

Re: Onkyo TX-SR606 for £300 Delivered!

It's in store or mail order - but Onkyo are now struggling for stock, so once they're gone, that's it until well into January!

This price is still valid as called them today to check, wanted to try to get SuperFi to price match. In the end best SuperFi offered was to meet me halfway £315.00 which I took as I wanted it today & couldn't be arsed to drive to Coventry

Re: Onkyo TX-SR606 for £300 Delivered!

These are £295 from Richer Sounds using their price beat promise against AV-Sales price of £305 ONKYO TXSR606 ¦¦ UK ¦¦ AV-SALES ONKYO TX-SR606 E Amp Receiver

I guess this special price cannot be used to get Richer Sounds to do them for £290!?

I phoned up Richer Sounds the other day to try and get a price beat promise with them on that exact website. What a complete load of hassle.

To Quote them "Although that website provides a free delivery service, it is likely that you will not get the amp for 3 to 4 days and therefore as we are offering the amp now, they cannot offer the same service so we wont price match".

WTH, they didnt price match because there amp was available now and that site would take 3 to 4 days to deliver. A very lame price promise.

Re: Onkyo TX-SR606 for £300 Delivered!

If you ring Jason from the internet department of Richer Sounds he will price beat the AV-Land price and send one out for £295.

The number is 020 7551 5355 you could even try to get him to beat the Frank Harvey price too, making it a possible £290.

Yes.

You could even get it for £290 delivered if he agrees to price beat the Frank Harvey price.

Re: Onkyo TX-SR606 for £300 Delivered!

806 is 2 models up.

Onkyo must be about to release new models with these good prices.

The prices that we should be paying in the first place that the USA are used to.

Onkyo's prices to us have now gone back up to where they used to be and I would expect to see dealer prices going back up later in the month as older stock dwindles.

Re: Onkyo TX-SR606 for £300 Delivered!

Generally are the Onkyo surround amps regarded as better than the Yamahas?

I have an older Yamaha AX757SE Surround Sound Amplifer, which sounds amazing and is a great setup - but of course i have no option of using 7.1 apart from via analog due to no HDMI inputs so feature wise the 806 would be a big leap up as its probably the eqivlent of about 6 models later and 3 models up.

Would the 806 sound considerably better too?
