Going to get negged because looks like only 2 in stock but someone might be interested.
Got an email from Amazon.com advertising a special on the Harman Kardon AVR 154. Thought I would jump on Amazon.de just out of curiosity to see if the 230V equivalent was on sale and if it would ship to Australia and it turned out to be a yes to both (equivalent seems to be the Harman Kardon AVR 156). According to CamelCamelCamel has dropped from around 250Euro to 200Euro. Use 28degrees card to improve on conversion costs, I have just used the Amazon converter to get to $354.77AUD.
Has previously been posted for $399 but didn't rate very highly, will see how it goes this time.
Cheapest I can find locally at the moment is $399 but can't comment on the store at all.
Need to battle through the German translation of course but as far as I can tell it is 230V compatible and Australian compatible with the addition of an adaptor plug.
Will leave it to someone else to inevitably point out all the risks and disasters from purchasing overseas.
Not often that these sorts of items will ship to Australia so posted in case someone can get some value from it, good luck.
Not familiar with this particular item so will pass myself even though in the market for an AV receiver (I'm looking for 6 HDMI inputs as a start anyway, think this one only has 3).
full itemisation of features can be found here
For $399 locally, I'd stick with the Aussie stock. Keep our retailers in business.
On top of the $354, add $12-17 for a euro power adapter, or buy a power cable for $5~(depending if standard)
What about warranty? I'm happy to send it back to Sydney, not Europe.
