Just came across this today and thought I would post it knowing how popular this receiver is around here. The seller is the only authorized Denon dealer on eBay.

I just might be snatching one of these up myself after purchasing my surrounds and center channel hopefully next week or the week after!! Salivating :). At this price point it can't be beat here in Canada and being refurbished by Denon it's obviously good quality. That being said are there any significant upgrades on the next model that would be worth waiting for and paying the extra cash?

Thanks
Cam

Brand new 3808's go for little over $1000, so I don't think $1,000 for a refurb makes much sense.

Unfortunately for us up here it does, although Dakmart is more expensive than e-cost.

Dakmart has it on their website for $999.98.

I believe that Dakmart is the Ebay seller.

audiotronic.ca list it for $1748 cdn.

not to change the subject but for that price I would just get the onkyo sr875 which already uses the reon chip.

The guy I talked to at AudioTronic (who was helpful enough to say Axiom speakers 'suck') offered me a 3808 for $1500.

I still may end up ordering from 6ave, shipping to the UPS store in the states, and driving down to pick it up.

Personally I would like more than $100 off on a refurb.

I suspect that the AudioTronic guy will say that any speakers that he can't sell you for $1000 profit suck.
