this is a normal street price for this unit lately. but don't forget if you want any of these options you have to pay extra from Denon and will almost double the cost of the unit.

Dirac Live - $249 (partial bandwidth) up to $349 (Full bandwidth)
Dirac calibration mic - $100
Bass control - single-sub license $350, multi-sub license is $500.

This is the lowest price on Amazon EVER!
There is the option to add Dirac for more money should you choose.

Wow what are they software locked? It's like buying a car that has a radio but you have to pay extra to be able to use the radio.

Only $85 more than Adorama's recent deal.
Not bad if you did not want to get it from Adorama and or want to wait.

You might be able to PM from BB also.

If you have an Amazon Prime card this drops to a net of $1030. Considering that either way it has free returns if you don't like it or just change your mind (which Adorama doesn't, the shipping won't be refunded) this is IMO a wash with the Adorama deals.

This current price also puts it right around where they've priced the RZ50 on occasion lately. Some believe that the Onkyo will be more troublesome but both have plenty of reports of problems. The Onkyo has Dirac (which is hundreds more as an add-on with the Denon and you need to spend another hundred for a mic) but the Denon has separate outputs for multiple subs and you can shut off power amps that aren't being used if you have outboard amplification. It seems to be "pick your poison" between these two models.

I'm looking for 7.1.4 for $1000, but I'd settle for 7.1.2 for $500. When are they gonna realize the pandemic glory days are over? AVRs are about to crash harder than the scalper GPU market.

Ditto. Amazon had it for $2100 a few weeks ago, but I didn't bite. Waiting for it to drop under $2k.

Might need to check if this gets a factory warranty since Amazon has not been considered an "Authorized Dealer" in the past (even though it looks like this comes direct from Denon).

If you call BB, they should do a price match. I was able to get them to price match to Adorama on the 3800 after the 3700 open box I purchased didn't work correctly. BB rep on the phone was a pleasure to work with.

Everything that I can see shows directly sold by Amazon is covered by warranty. If you go to Denon's website and submit a warranty inquiry, Amazon is even listed under the dealer drop-down.

Sort of but not quite. You buy the software which analyzes your room (also need a $100 microphone) and based on those results, it allows you to adjust certain audio qualities. Only certain AVRs can use this specific DIRAC software.

The existing room correcting software on the AVR is quite decent (Audyssey XT32). Rather than license this competing technology (DIRAC) for everyone and up the purchase price, they kept it optional.

I've never used Dirac Live myself- does the receiver not have built-in room correction, or is Dirac just a premium version of that you can get on top? Do you get a mic with the unit for basic audio calibration?

Just not sure if this is like an audiophile-focused addition or something really any owner of the unit will want and use. Like say without "bass control" does that mean you can't set up crossover frequency on your sub or something? Or is it just fine tuned calibration for LFE?

I believe it has to be "ships from, sold by" Amazon.com, but BB should price match.
