Sony amps: Str-dg820 / Str-da2400es

[Bona Botse]

hello guys,

i'm looking at buying one of these amplifiers come month end but i don't know where to get them? the only place in SA that seems to have them is justcat.co.za:

STR-DG820 - http://www.justcat.co.za/store/sony-channel-series-full-hdmi-receiver-strdg820s-p-3094.html @ R5199

STR-DA2400ES - http://www.justcat.co.za/store/sony-channel-receiver-amplifier-strda2400ess-p-3032.html @ R5499

so my question is have any of you bought from justcat before? and if so what was the experience like?

and also, do you guys know where i might be able to get the amps for cheaper than the above prices? i read on another forum that the dg820 should be selling for R4999

and lastly, which of the amps would you guys recommend? the dg820 is right in my budget but i could squeeze out the few extra hundred bucks for the da2400es if necessary.

thanks for the input

Uhm, not to be funny, but the ES amp is about 5 times better than the other one. A no brainer at that price. And yes, it is a fair price, the STR-DA1200ES goes for R3900.00 and the STR-DA3400ES goes for R9900.00, so 5.5k sounds about right.
