FYI, 6ave.com is having a "Name your price" event. For most speakers you can get ~ 40% off. I offered $550 for a Klipsch RC-64 (retails for $1000) and had the price accepted. Today is the last day for you to submit price requests so if there is anything on your list you should make the offers now.

Thanks! I put in an offer of $135 for the Def Tech based on your comment. Let's hope I get it!
I also put an offer of $150 for the Denon 1709. That would be sweet!

Came back at $158 for the speaker and $180 for the receiver. I am not sure if that includes shipping.
what do you think?

A lot of the low end HDMI receivers only do HDMI switching and can't extract the audio. That receiver also doesn't handle any of the latest HD audio formats.

I believe the prices include shipping if you select ground shipping. The price they gave me for the Klipsch RC64 included ground shipping. Considering that the shipping weight for the RC64 is ~80lb, free shipping is a good thing.

Can't get it to show up with free shipping for the receiver although the speaker does show up like that.
I just can't bite on the Denon for the very reasons that akajester noted.
I am using an HTPC in the living room and don't have HDMI so using the HD audio isn't possible at this point anyway but spending money on stuff that isn't cutting edge, drives me nuts...although $180 is pretty darn cheap for a nice Denon unit.
I want to try Audessey and Dynamic Volume.

Ok, the no HD audio was scaring me a bit so I spent another $80 and picked up the 507 from ACC4Less.
Has a lot of features with probably a crippled amp section but should serve my living room purposes fine. Has all the Audessy goodness too!
Might have to cut back on the center channel now though. Might try out the HTD flat panel speaker.
