Thanks for the info. Like you said, Yamaha was very vague.

I either posted incorrectly before or you misunderstood...I just bought the Yamaha RX-V2400 (which is now returned) from a local shop. The best they would do, after showing them a number of online prices, was 15% off = $850.

However, I forgot I can get a substantial discount on the "HTR" series (employee discount) at Best Buy.

If Best Buy doesn't have an equal I will buy the RX-V2400 either at the local shop, again, or online.
Savings online is $180, risk is ?
