The only gear I've purchased from work was my subwoofer amp, and it's a Kenwood, so it's pretty cheap already. Er well I had purchased a Kenwood deck, and got oh, say, like 75% off or so, but as I've mentioned before, it doesn't really go with my car and is an ergonomic nightmare.
I too liked the Denon car decks, it's a shame they no longer build them. Nakamichi stuff is great too, but nearly as hard to find as Blaupunkt (locally at least - maybe more so mail order). Eclipse and Alpine do make some excellent stuff in the extreme high end, but I refuse to pay more than $500 for a in dash receiver, so that rules them out...even with my discount, and the highest end decks also tend to be the most flashy and ugly these days..
I certainly agree though, I much prefer to go into the local store and actually get a feel for how the deck operates before purchasing it. Just not possible with Blaupunkt. :( Fortunately, I haven't been disappointed, and my 1994 and 1998 Blaupunkt decks feel much more solid than any of the current ones..
