Looks like they're willing to talk bulk as I just received this email:

I do appreciate you giving us the opportunity to earn your business on a multiple piece purchase. As you may already know , the Onkyo 876 is a top of the line receiver, with excellent audio and video processing which is curently on sale at 40% off. I would love to work out a great deal with you for two of them, please give me a call

Are you serious about this McG? Anybody else want in? I'm going to call them on my way to work in a few minutes.

Okay, I have them down to $1,300 on the receiver, but they are out of the blu-ray players so no-can-do on those. As far as I can tell, this is a crazy deal you guys.

If you want in you can order it yourself, but PM me for a couple of details you'll need to get the extra $100 off. Obviously this deal won't last long, but I really don't know how long they'll hold it.

Thanks again for the site recomendation, photon.

I would never spend over $1500 on a receiver these days. If you want better sound, get separate amps.

FYI...
that Onkyo 876 receiver was on sale at Visions boxing week for $1188.
that will give you an idea of what they "should" be willing to sell for.
It's a 2008 model, but it's super beefy and network ready.

Ugh. lol

Oh well, I'm happy to have paid $112 more just to not give that company my money. Well not happy, but that's what I'll tell myself.
