(Europe) Master Deals Thread on Audio Product Sales

[Roland68]

You could be right - I was translating it - so going back to the webpage, I do see "piece black" in the translation - which I should obviously take to mean "single". As for the word Speakers - it comes up a few times in the translated description :

"Really great speakers just disappear and just let you listen to the music. An unadulterated voice, perfectly reproduced instrument levels in which you can lose yourself sound so unadulterated that you think the artist is with you. That's what great speakers with the most advanced cutting-edge technology enable."

But to be honest I was not expecting to get a pair for that price - was more pointing out that the page has a picture of 2 speakers, and the translated description talks about speakers and the 'incorrect' translation of 'unit'.

The word "Lautsprecher" says nothing about the number, but in connection with piece it clearly means 1 loudspeaker and that's what it says in the title of the article. It really doesn't get any clearer than that.

What really bothers me is this statement "That website is very deceptive". And that at a dealer who has been working well for 30 years and who is very precise about the number of items included, as can also be seen in the screenshot below.
And the text you quoted is a normal advertising sentence from the manufacturer, which cannot say anything about the number of units sold.

And don't be mad at me, but if you want to sue every retailer in the world that sells single speakers using a manufacturer's product image with 2 speakers in it, you won't do anything else for the rest of your life.
And these images of several pieces are also available for many other items that are only sold individually.

"Enceinte" means both loudspeaker and pregnant, it's pretty weird

You may order and pay for a pair of speakers but what you get is a pregnant French lady. Absolutely weird.

If it is any similar to the R3 -discussed here at least a couple of times- you will have a hard time finding someone that sells single units. If it was me, at this price, i would buy a pair and try to sell one down the road...

Just tried, unfortunately the offer cannot be sent to Germany, maybe only locally.

UK only shipping but I think 899pounds(1025euro) for a pair of KEF R3 can be considered a deal

KEF R3 Bookshelf Speakers

R3 redefines standmount performance. That's no surprise, as it shares the same drivers as the range-topping R11.

edit: I see they are at 1030 in a german e-shop(with more shipping options) as well so it might not be a deal. Still a good price though:

A dutiful update, after ten days of waiting (much less than expected) my package has been shipped and should be delivered on Friday, so I will be able to confirm the pair of speakers

Yep, cause the loudspeaker is not called by the "speaker" name, but by the cavity, the "space countaining something". A room is une enceinte. A speaker box is une enceinte. So is a woman countaining something / someone inside her

And Haute Fidélité is very reliable. But once you get the hang of it it's not an issue.

That's right.
In the same league, some (older) people still call speakers "des baffles", while baffle is technically only the front part of a speaker.
Haut-parleur litteraly means "loudspeaker" but it is used to describe... drivers.
Casque is both the word for headphones and helmet.
Etc etc.

Just to give my feedback on the german shop.
Ordered the speakers on Tuesday 04/04 at 23:30, and received them just 10 minutes ago.
They even cost a bit lower(499) now and they always appear as available.
Paid 85 euros of shipping to a neighbouring country though without having any other shipping options fyi.

In case there was any doubt, now there are none. the price is for the pair (and it's still 250)

I saw 400 euro per KEF R3 and almost jumped the gun, but the site has blocked access to the entry for some reason
