I ordered a set from shoplet.com for $540 and got an email that they were discontinued. Now they are $590 something. Sounds like someone didnt want to sell them at that price anymore. Anybody know where a good price is from a a good dealer?
Thanks!, I was just wondering why it said "fellows denon" and they said they where drop shipped from a vendor and no picture. It just looked a little shady?
Call up J&R (J&R: Electronics, Digital Cameras, Computers, Appliances, Software, Video Games, DVDs, CDs .). You can get them for $550 shipped. I called about one and a half weeks ago on a Saturday and they told me the price was $899, I then mentioned Head-Fi (just tell them you're a member) and they came back with $550 out the door. Headphones shipped out Monday and I got them on Tuesday.
I had a discussion with an audio retailer about pricing on the D7000. When J&R sells them for @ $550, they are selling them at just a few dollars (that's right - very few) over cost. In fact this retailer was considering stopping selling Denon headphones because of this situation. So while it may be great how big a discount the D7000's can be had for, it may not be in Denon's best interest in the long run if a bunch of retailers decide not to carry them any more because there is no money in it.

In conclusion... order them before the retailers (and Denon) come to their senses!
J&R, while inconsistent to a degree, keep in mind, it's often the sale rep you end up talking to, I have called them as long as over a week waiting to hear the price I want to pay for gear, I would keep trying. Never ordered a Denon from them, but have got some great deals, hang in there.
I'll probably try asking again tomorrow, although when I told him that I was a member of head-fi and I was looking for a price around $600, he was kinda like "what?? really??" so I doubt that I'm gonna be able to get a lower price, but no harm in trying
He said if I buy it at $999, it would be free ship, but since i wanted a discount, he couldnt give me free shipping, and then I asked what the discounted price would be, and he said "give me a min to look it up" and he came back with $800 plus $17 ship.

Wasn't too difficult for me. Got 'em for 600 plus shippin'. Since I'm not a US resident I had to pay applicable shipping fee btw, but if you live in the states, you just might be able to get 'em w/o it. If you wanna try via the salesman I talked to, pm me. I will disclose his name and his ext.
