Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
This certainly isn't indicative of a general trend, but I was watching the Pioneer Kuro 5020FD and it has DEFINITELY been going up. I saw go from $2550 down to $1894 on Amazon not too long ago, and it's now up to $2469. I know the Kuro is a special case because Pioneer won't be making any more of them and suppliers know that people who understand what they're buying will be willing to pay more in order to avoid never getting one. I finally found one elsewhere from an authorized dealer for $2075 two days ago. I'd have been pissed if I had to pay an extra $600 over the price it had 6 weeks ago just because I hemmed and hawed for a bit, but I can handle an extra $181.
I am in the same boat. I had been watching 5020 prices and the lowest I had seen them go was around $1900. Now they went back up to $2200 - 2400 and they are running out of stock because of Pioneer's terrible decision to end the Kuro line.
Does anyone even know if the 10th gens are still coming out this year or has that been scrapped as well?
Search eBay for Pioneer 5020FD. There's a seller called Beyond Plasma which is listed on Pioneer's site as an authorized dealer still selling new units for $2075; other auctions include a wall mount and 5-year extended warranties. I had to call them after I ordered mine (accidentally gave them my work shipping address!) and they're great even on the phone. Not quite $1900, but it's better than the new $2899 price on Amazon!
