ok, im looking at getting a HK receiver, either the AVR235, AVR335, AVR435, or AVR635, (Depending on the prices) i refuse to pay futureshops rediculous prices, when they are so much cheaper in the states, however i have yet to find an alternative in Canada, and Hk's site wont let me "find dealers in my area" as it is US only (ie. zipcodes) anyone know of an online store i can get them from? (maybe for a pricematch at futureshop?) thanks very much for any help

I never found a real alternative to Futureshop. On the other hand, Futureshop does have good sales from time to time.
The distributor is Erikson in Montreal; I didn't try calling them because I found a good sale price at Futureshop but you might want to give them a try :

I was also outrage by the price at Future shop and I've found this web store: www.etronics.com. It's a US store but they ship your item with Borderfree. That means that when your order is completed, you know the exact price you have to pay in canadian $. I know it's not a Canadian store as you where asking but it's really worth the look. I bought an HK avr335 and it cost me 620$ canadian (vs 1299$ at Future Shop!!!!!!!), shipping, taxes and custom included. The delivery was fast with great packaging. Hope it helps.

For the warranty question I really don't know. But i'm sure if some problem would come in the warranty period, a big company like HK would honor it. Well I hope!

As far as I am aware they need to be an authorized dealer of H/K.
On their web page they sell refurbs from time to time as well.
This was on the site....If you live in Canada, you can reach a Harman Kardon representative at 1-800-567-3275.

You are correct, I live in Calgary. and the warranty on my US purchased AVR630 is void. Unfortunately, I have had to put a bit of money into the unit. It still does not function properly, but it works. I am sure I just received a dud, and most online US retailers have better service. The extra cost I have had to invest would have made purchasing in Canada a better option.
I purchased from an on-line retailer called "My Digital Universe", out of the US. They never once returned my calls or e-mail regarding the product.
