jdsmoothie (fantastic resource) has reported that the free Auro demo disc is available from Auro in Europe, but requires payment of vat, shipping and customs fees of Euro 28. Suggest that AVS either obtain actual Auro discs or the rights to reproduce them and include with each purchase of an Auro-included receiver (or at least the X8500). If this can't be free, your bulk cost of shipment should be less than the individual cost. Over $30 for the disc by individual purchase is more that I can justify--$10 is a easy number. Incidentally, your captcha is barely readable to my old eyes. I've gone thru 5 iterations so far with no success. Are you this worried?
Yes, I got about 20 fake accounts so far today. I've just increased the Captcha difficulty in an effort to limit the amount of spambots entering the site. I'm going to try it for a while and see if it works. (Once you post 2 times with the Captcha your third post won't require it any more.)Thanks for understanding! We appreciate your participation.
Recommended systems and packages for audio at different price points.eg:(a) Receiver(b) Receiver + 2 channel AMP(c) Receiver + 3 channel AMPas @jdsmoothie knows I have been trying to figure out what I really want...And also all the brilliant stuff he shares on the other forum, could be a model specific blog posts(eg: Marantz upgraded their HDAC for the 2017 line, or there is no difference in the DAC chips between Marantz/Denon).This is the kind of wisdom which would be compelling, and will truly increase engagement.
Back in the old days, power buys were a common thing. Are those still feasible? Or has the marketplace changed to to point where they don't make sense anymore?Scott
We can look into this. Suggestions on what people would like to see a power buy on?

Buy one, get one to share with a friend.
I didn't really have anything specific in mind. I just remember back in the old days when power buys would pop up, and they were really a great feature. Sometimes it wasn't even something that a guy needed, but some us would end up buying them just because we couldn't pass up the deal. I just haven't seen any for a very long time, and wasn't sure if manufacturers had disallowed them, or if there was some reason for their disappearance.
