The HK 340 is $1300 canadian at FS, it's $479 US at JR.com. Slight difference in price eh? I tell anyone of my friends to avoid HK and Onkyo up here unless the price is great. I think both companies make great products but the prices are insane up here. I had a friend buy an Onkyo 503 for $499 + tax (568.86) a couple of months ago , it's on sale right now at ecost.com for $149 US refurbed. I could get it shipped to me for $260 cad including tax, duties, handling fees & $41 shipping.
