Happy Easter, everyone! Before you spend the day trying to overdose on Peeps, you may want to stop and do a little shopping. We're not talking about looking for half-price jellybeans and chocolate bunnies. Instead, we're talking about snagging a little AV.
Just in case the Easter bunny forgot to stuff some home theater equipment into your basket, Amazon has listed the Denon AVR-X1000 5.1-Channel Networking Home Theater AV Receiver as today's Gold Box Deal. That means that for one day (April 20, 2014), Amazon will be slashing the price on this AVR from the typical list price of $499.99 to just $299. In other words, you can save $200.99 on this purchase. That's a whole lot of jellybeans! Amazon will even ship it to your front door, absolutely free. To find out more about the Gold Box Deal and how it works, check out Amazon's page:
It's important to note that this is one of Denon's IN-Command AV receivers. It has Apple AirPlay, so you can stream audio content wirelessly to the receiver from any networked iOS device, as well as Macs and PCs running iTunes. This AVR also has plenty of other networking features, so you can instantly stream Pandora, Spotify and Sirius XM, all without a smartphone or other portable. (A subscription and/or fee will be necessary, though.)
Denon has packed this component with the power to crank 80 watts to each of its five channels. It also has Audyssey Silver, which includes Audyssey MultEQ, Audyssey Dynamic Volume, and Audyssey Dynamic EQ to pump up the sound of your home theater system. Other features include 1080p and 3D video pass-through, multi-zone capability and Denon's own proprietary Compressed Audio Restorer.
The AVR-X1000 also has Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio high-resolution audio decoders, as well as high-res 24 bit/194 kHz digital-to-analog converters on all channels.
Designed to be the hub of your AV setup, this AVR includes six HDMI inputs, a USB port, and more. Find out more about this AVR on Amazon's product page:
When buying this receiver, make sure that you're placing your order through Amazon and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Amazon is the one offering the discounted price, as well as the free Super Saver Shipping option. It's also important to remember that this is Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day, which means that the sale price is only good for today (April 20, 2014) or whenever the retailer runs out of stock. So before you finish off Easter candy, finish your shopping -- and enjoy!
