Spero D. Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Update- Singapore stock is arriving the same as Australian stock. End of October/first week of November. Makes the decision easier to get it locally, depending on street price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Cinema in Sydney http://www.digitalcinema.com.au/Denon-AVR-X5200W-9ch-Integrated-Network-Receiver-w-p/denon-avr-x5200w.htm Don't know why they show the Champagne/Silver option as Qualifi doesn't bring that color into the country. However you can only choose Black from the color selection there. Edited September 7, 2014 by Spero D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetherock Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 There's that AV show in November in Singapore, that's usually where things are introduced, it's likely that D&M will have their stuff showcased there... I expect some kind of deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spero D. Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 So you bought one? How much is it? 1) No 2) SGD$2070 or $1868 Australian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gllp Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) So I'm assuming Singapore models use the same power voltage as we do so you don't need a power converter, is that right? Is there any reason other than warranty not to get it from there? The 5200 is way over priced here at $3600, the 4100 seems like better value at $2300 but you need an external 2 channel amp if you want 5.1.4. I have a spare receiver amp I could use for that purpose but it's a messy way of doing it. Edited October 1, 2014 by gllp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spero D. Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) This is how I look at it. SGD$2070 or $1868 Australian Shipping using Fedex is SGD$400 from a certain retailer. International Money Transfer- $22 Total is SGD $2470 or $2222 AUD Add in the import Duty- Customs value (CV) of imported Goods = $1868 Then the Customs Duty @ 5% of the $1868 (CV) = $93.40 (Payable) International transport and insurance (T&I) = $360.00 Then the VoTI = (CV) + Duty + (T&I) = $2222 GST = 10% of the VoTI = 10% x $2222 = $222.22 (Payable) Therefore the Total Duty plus GST payable = $315.62 So your total cost is $2559 landed no issues (other than Warranty) Australian RRP $3599 Assuming a 20% discount (Do-able depending on your relationship with your dealer) is $2879. Is a local warranty worth the an extra $300? I think so. Is it worth an extra $620 odd if you avoid duty by under declaring? I still think so. However if you are going to Singapore and bringing one back yourself then the decision is harder As always YMMV. Edited October 1, 2014 by Spero D.

petetherock Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Was it KEC that gave you that quote? Yeah, it makes more sense if one stopovers in Singapore... I am more partial to the Marantz cousin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsec Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Wonder if there will be any group buys going for the X5200W, or SR7009 for that matter, when they hit aussie shores? I would be interested in one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petetherock Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hmmm... going to Singapore mid-October. Plenty of luggage space available. Wondering if I should risk bringing one back? IMO, yes, if you can find one on the ground... I understand that they aren't in stock yet right now, but if they are when you go, that's brilliant.

drteflon Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Temptation is increasing. Will be there 13th to 18th so will see what's around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spero D. Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If you there, and can carry it back, drop into KEC, see if they can do a better price than the SGD $2470 and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drteflon Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Surely boxed weight is < 30kg so the only question is if I am willing to risk it being checked in and thrown about with all the other luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetherock Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have not had any issues with my overseas purchases, so long as I used the original boxes. Many double box too. I have shipped subwoofers, amps, speakers etc. No dramas... the bigger it is, the less likely they will throw it around.. See the shopping overseas thread for places to buy in Singapore if you are there. There are alternatives, just that they don't ship.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsec Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 au.denon.com which is the Denon link the Qualifi site sends you to now lists all the Denon 2014 models up to the X5200W. Manuals etc are available for download from the site. So now, just got to find someone who is selling them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spero D. Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) As I said to import one is $2559 to get one locally with local warranty is $3599. So a $1000 difference less what you can can wiggle with a dealer ie. 10%. So IMO it is worthwhile purchasing locally for the warranty. As for myself I'm still tempted to wait for the AVR-X7200W which lands in January in the US and hopefully the same here. Edited October 3, 2014 by Spero D.
