blackorp, I’m not sure either. I said taxes/duties because I wasn’t sure how to label it, I tried to imply duties or taxes at the border. I know Axiom doesn’t charge tax to U.S.A. customers but I was not sure about any duties that might apply. I agree with you sirquack, Axiom could charge more and I think if they did they would still be here tomorrow doing just fine.

Either way this is just laughable to see people complain about price increases on audio gear. When the Denon 3805 first came out last year it premiered at about 100$ less than the 3806 did this year but I saw no mention of that. My satellite went up 3 times in 3 years but I don’t post anywhere about it and I haven’t cancelled it. I want my HD channels and my movie channels, it’s a luxury and I’ll pay for it.

Once again, everything is going up but thanks to the power of capitalism, you don’t have to purchase anything that you feel is over priced.
