Yeah, don't go by the price listed on 6ave website. When I bought the 3808 it was listed at msrp, you had to call them to get the special pricing.

I don't know if amzon is an authorized denon retailer. Denon requires purchases to be made from an authorized retailer for any warranty service that may be needed later.

That being said, 6ave may not be the cheapest now but it is at least worth the call to find out.
