Not sure how long this one lasts, but Id get it now if youre interested!

I just ordered the AVR-525 today for $580.20 shipped!

I got my Onkyo SR600 from J&R and had no problems, and they are also an authorized dealer. Just in case someone was thinking about it and wanted some input on them.

Good point Zarak. Id also like to mention that Onecall is an authorized online retailer of Harman Kardon as well, and its listed on the HK website. $580 shipped is the cheapest youll find this receiver anywhere. Ive been searching the past couple weeks and the cheapest I found it is like $634, not including $30-$40 shipping.

That's about what I got mine for, and I was very happy with the quality (it was a refurb, of course). Onecall was very fast at getting it to me, too.

They were VERY fast. I ordered it two days ago and it was delivered this morning...too bad I decided to come in to work today even though Im supposed to be off today

Any problems getting a refurbished one? I was pretty skeptical about doing that...the ones on Onecall now for that price are new receivers. I think today is the last day though...

No problems at all. I got their little extended warranty, too, so I'm not stressed about it. My only issue is that it gets so hot in my little teeny entertainment center now that my TiVo overheats. That should be fixed in a few weeks though...

Make sure you've got adequate cooling for it--not that I've ever had its fan come on.

I just recieved the AVR-525 from JandR for 649.99 shipped...$550 would have left money for a better remote...

Update...I just called JandR and they said that they would match the price of the AVR-525 for 30 days, if it was from an authorized dealer...According to the HK site OneCall.com is...We will see.

The onecall one is a refurb, so you may be out of luck. It's still authorized, but it's a different product, according to H/K. Different box and everything.

The link I posted:

http://www.onecall.com/Shipping.SHP?CartProductID=17140&NewQty=1&PMOID=859&PMOCID=972&PMOCode=pdhkavr525

was for a new receiver, not a refurb. The refurb is selling for $511 or so, and this one was selling for $548. The deal is over now though...

6ave.com which says it's an authorized dealer has the AVR525 for $574.99 + $0.06 shipping

Thats an awesome deal! However, I dont believe they are an authorized Harman Kardon dealer. Here's the list of authorized online dealers from HK's website:

Amazon www.amazon.com
Circuit City www.circuitcity.com
Crutchfield www.crutchfield.com
J&R Music & Computer World www.jandr.com
One Call www.onecall.com
Sound City www.soundcity.com
Stereo Advantage www.theadvantage.com
UBid Refurbished www.ubid.com
Vann's www.vanns.com
QVC www.iqvc.com

Just called up HK. The rep I spoke with said that this is somewhat of a gray area, no clearcut answers. 6ave has a physical store out in Joisey and is an authorized dealer, but the rep said he's not sure if they're an "authorized e-tailer" for HK, but will still honor the warranty if buying it online from 6ave. Just an update.

Looks to me Onecall still has refurbished 525's in stock http://ww3.onecall.com/PID_19089.htm
