nang3 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 about $920 supposedly ?? well thats what my contact reckons anyway..
goldgxl Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) What is the actual cost price of this unit? It's almost impossible to give a number because of the way the rebates work, so it will vary from retailer to retailer. Industry insider best guess is that it's just over $650 for the 605.

jbl540 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I've found one for a price of $895. Should i even be waiting to buy at that price?
Juicester Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 no - and you should definitely be telling me where i can get one for that too!
Protagonist Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I've found one for a price of $895. Should i even be waiting to buy at that price? Is that with haggling? And where at?
jbl540 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) it's a straight up list price from an online Aussie retailer. Not sure how many they have & wether the price is a mistake so i'm reluctant to give up my source until i've secured one but fingers crossed it would be in the next day or two. JB's online store has them listed at $1,277 so the price i found is $380 less than them. Edited June 18, 2008 by jbl540
nang3 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I've found one for a price of $895. Should i even be waiting to buy at that price? fark thats cheap !! is it definitely non-refurbished and non-demo etc??? prolly a parallel import maybe???

Shonky* Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Anyone posted a review of the 606 yet? Umm.... Google? http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/review/51...rinter-friendly http://whathifi.com/blogs/home-cinema/arch...ng-success.aspx http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-SR606-Chann...r/dp/B0015S8PGW http://www.dvd-home-cinema.co.uk/surround-...06-av-receiver/ Not totally in depth but all on the first page. Things like Amazon comments are good since they are usually done by real users.
jbl540 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I found out last night that cost price on the 606 is $838. So if you went into a JB you should be able to haggle one from them easily enough for under $900.
SteveV Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Can anyone advise re the use of banana plugs with the 606. Nothing in the manual and a lot of conflicting views on other forums. 605 owners can chime in as the binding posts are identical. I use high end speaker cables and would hate to snip off the banana plugs. Great receiver too!! Thx Steve.
noob2dig Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Anyone purchased a 606? What did it set u back? Happy with it? Cheers
Freak Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Anyone managed $800 for these badboys yet? Has anyone ever imported something like this from say Amazon? I notice they have it for $399USD.. Which i think includes delivery.
Shonky* Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Has anyone ever imported something like this from say Amazon?I notice they have it for $399USD.. Which i think includes delivery. Black is US$405, Silver is $366. Won't include delivery and Amazon won't ship a receiver internationally anyway. When Amazon say stuff like "FREE with Super Saver Shipping" that's only in the US. Also you'll need a stepdown transformer too. Probably greater than 500VA too i.e. 1000VA Edited July 1, 2008 by Shonky*
Protagonist Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Which online store will import at a resonable price?
Guest RaV Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Which online store will import at a resonable price? Ive been looking also to find one overseas. This is the best ive found that looks like they ship oversea a little more than Amazon $424.95 USD http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/5438...r_Receiver.html I got 170 USD for Shipping Only problem is 110 v

US manual specifies 120V at 5.5A = roughly 660VA At Jaycar (really should be specced in VA) 500W is $219 1000W is is $339 By the time you factor that and US$170 for shipping: US$424 + $170 shipped = ~$630 + $339 = AUD$970 which is little less than what you'd pay here plus no warranty and having a largish transformer in the back taking up space....
