Denon AVR-3311CI Receiver with Mirage Nanosat 5.1 Speaker System: $1199.99 (Save $799)

By Rachel Cericola

Audiophiles have their own unique language. There's usually talk about woofers, watts, and other weirdness. For the novice, it can be a pretty tricky subject. However, picking out an audio setup should not be all that difficult -- especially if Amazon is doing some of the dirty work for you. Right now, they are pairing up a few perfectly matched items -- namely audio/video receivers and surround sound speaker systems -- to bring the Big Sound to your home theater or living room. Still need some enticing? Well, one half of these dynamic duos are actually free. And no, that's not a misprint!

For instance, for a limited time, when you buy the Denon AVR-3311CI 7.2-Channel A/V Receiver, Amazon will give you Mirage's Nanosat 5.1 Speaker System at no additional charge. It's a nice pairing, and not just because the speakers are free. However, free certainly helps! Take a peek at the offer on Amazon:

Denon's AVR-3311CI 7.2 receiver boasts 125 watts per channel, high quality 1080p upconversion of digital and analog video sources, Audio Channel Return support, six 3D-ready HDMI 1.4a inputs and one output. The receiver is also ready to be hooked up to your home network, which adds in web radio, HD Radio, and even photos from Flickr. This receiver also has an iPod and iPhone Direct Connectivity feature, so you can crank up all of the music you've been hoarding on your favorite portable via a USB cable. Apple fans will love that it's one of the first receivers enabled for Apple's AirPlay feature so it can stream music directly from your iTunes library (requires optional firmware upgrade).  There's even a compressed audio restorer for kicking that digital performance up a notch.

Our own Dennis Burger checked this receiver out last year saying, "the AVR-3311CI is very nearly the perfect receiver." We were so impressed with this unit's performance, that we gave the AVR-3311CI our 2010 Biggie Award. Read more about the receiver in our full AVR-3311CI review or on Amazon's product page:

That is one sweet receiver. Just don't be so blinded that you forget about your freebies! For a limited time, the AVR-3311CI comes with Mirage's Nanosat 5.1 Speaker System. This complete set of speakers is pretty slick and small, making those speakers very easy to place. All five speakers include a 2.75-inch titanium deposit polypropylene cone woofer and a 0.75-inch pure titanium hybrid tweeter with a unique sound radiator that creates a spacious, open soundstage for music and movies. The system is also nicely matched with Mirage's 8-inch, 75-watt powered subwoofer. Check out the Mirage Nanosat set on Amazon:

To get this deal, you must buy BOTH items directly from Amazon and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Yes, that means that you need to click and place BOTH items into your shopping cart. Don't worry; you will see that savings appear in your cart right before checkout.  Did we also mention that this deal includes free shipping?  Start shopping soon, because Amazon says that this deal will be done on April 30, 2011, or whenever the retailer runs out of stock.
