Onkyo SR-876 @ 704 (?) -Audio-T

as per title

list price is 780 - but 10% off first item bought in store at the moment in their sale

Audio T Christmas Sale - Audio T

seems a good price to me

Exclusions apply...so you don't know for definite that the 876 isn't in the exclusion...

Re: Onkyo SR-876 @ 704 (?) -Audio-T

nope but I doubt it - its not on "special offer" at the moment

I'd imagine ex-dems, used items etc are the exclusions - but I am only guessing

you wouldn't guess (from all my posts on the bargain forum) - that I'm on the search for an AV amp would you !

if the Audio-T offer is no good - the Creative Audio promotion isn't bad either -

http://www.creative-audio.co.uk/hots...FYwH3godOy8ADA

£779 - free overnight delivery + 2x 1m QED HDMI cables

not bad either !

or from posted on this very forum - there was a link to 10% off at Exceptional AV - Black or Silver SR876 comes to 719 delivered including a QED Reference HDMI cable

Re: Onkyo SR-876 @ 704 (?) -Audio-T

I'll let you into a secret - I got mine for £730 new from Richer Sounds - a month ago when they were still priced at £999 on their website. I just asked what the best price he could do it for - he said £750...I said thanks - slightly out of my price range. he then asked me what I could afford - I told him £730 and he agreed - picked it up an hour later.

Can't believe how much the price has dropped on these - the second hand market seems to no longer exist...as you know, i was looking at downsizing mine a few days ago...I would still sell but am not prepared to let it go for stupid money.

Re: Onkyo SR-876 @ 704 (?) -Audio-T

Anybody got that feeling that RS may be going the same way as Woolworths...?
Seem to be despaerate to get rid of this of this stuff - I know for a fact that they are not making a loss on the 906 - but they're not making a great deal.
They must be desperate...

Re: Onkyo SR-876 @ 704 (?) -Audio-T

over perhaps the RRP are over-inflated on the Onkyos ?

I mean the last series were heavily reduced after about 6 months too ?
