Jeez that is cheap. US$1925 each for F208s! No sign of a discount in Oz, still silly prices like A$9499 (pair) for the same.

Speculating… but I’m guessing all dealers are getting new orders for those products less during this time. So might be a chance with some dealers to do better as well.

I gave far less than$1925 each for a pair of F208s from a dealer. I don't know why anyone would buy a pair of mid to high end speakers from Crutchfield. Their prices are way higher than at a dealer IME.

That'd be hilarious if they weren't serious.

At least the shipping is free. Maybe you get a free car with the speakers?

I only check there for authorized dealer sale prices like this one.

I asked them before if they would discount and they didn’t budge. I bought from a dealer and got about this same deal back about 4 years ago.

Man 30% is not enough. I need the F328Be's to be like 60% off. I'll buy some then. I'll use my F208's for rear surrounds. And my rear surrounds will may become some Atmos overheads.

Overhead, underfoot, what's next?
Oh we have to get everyone willing to put speakers in the ceiling for a few years first. Then I'm sure dolby will come out with a new incompatible format. It will have spatial speakers down low or preferably underfoot in dedicated home theater rooms. New Spatial Atmos 7.2.4.2 speakers minimum will be required. Maybe they'll shorten the name to Spatmos.

Then I'll have to replace the Marantz pre/pro I bought from you. Are you ready to upgrade yet?

I just moved up to 4k on the video side a few weeks ago.

Well, they are zero percent off! :) Sale only goes up to F208.
I know. Seems to me there is more wiggle room in the more expensive models. Doesn't that make sense? ;)

I really want this to happen. Been thinking about the possibilities lately:

  • Rain drops hitting the ground around you just like real life
  • Footsteps imaging between your surround and seat speaker. Getting closer...closer...
  • Bugs/fauna on the ground
  • Wind blowing grass/leaves/flora around you
  • Someone throws a glass bottle toward the screen and it images between your LCR and seat speaker...closer and closer until CRACK it shatters at your feet
  • Earthquake cracking the ground open beneath you
  • Many more creative uses
  • Profit
