The best price I was quoted was $649 (although one guy did say $500, if it is in cash and you come back within one hour). Half a dozen stores were willing to match the $649 price, but half of them didn't want to ship or deal with a university check. None would accept purchase orders. World of Stereo II (415/626-1195) and Digital Photo Electronic (415/928-6263). were two stores that agreed to ship after receiving a university check. These are small store front operations, and I am hesitant to deal with them from a 1000 miles away. With a shipping charge quoted at $30, there is little saving over the price that Ed quotes. So, if he has found a reliable dealer that is ready to work with standard university procedures, I think that is a good way to go. How about it, Ed? Where did you get the $711 price quote?
