In comparison, here in Canada:
On BF, it's listed as CDN$2782/ea, and with 10% discount it goes down to CDN$2504/ea (or US$1960/ea equivalent).
Which means US sale is 13% cheaper in US than here in Canada.
Not everything is cheaper in US though, since Canadian Genelecs are better value in Canada.
Got 48 month 0% interest from Sweetwater. Bought Kali LP6Wv2 and LP8 for grandkids (high school). 36 month offered on the JBLs.
Visited Sweetwater in Sept. Wow, what a place.
Picked up two of the JBL Sub 550Ps for $399 during the Black Friday special and they arrived today. Thankfully one was DOA as I was completely underwhelmed and would have felt guilty sending them back if they both worked.

So, was it because they're almost silent below 35Hz? I still like mine, and prefer them for music over my SB2000pro, but for movies, they just do a lot of moving without making any sound. They are very sensitive to room placement too.
Anyway, the monoilith subs are still on sale, and the 10" at $450 can do 91dB@15Hz according to CEA2010.

I confess I don't even know how to answer that... Maybe it's because I am used to a ported sub? After scoring a pair of Studio 570s, followed by a pair of 530s (thanks to ASR nonetheless), I was expecting nothing short of a bass rapture.
I wish Erin would have had the JBL 550 in his last round of subwoofer tests or at least some decent measurements somewhere. I think it sounds better than the other 200$ I have heard but it can’t hang with a Rythmik L12 for instance.
I just ordered two, been buying their video cards for years and the CEO/founder is an huge audio fan. AK4493 for that price, I'll chance it and maybe replace the Soundblaster AE-5 in the downstairs computer too.
Beyerdynamic Amiron Home on Newegg (new in box) for $262 with free shipping. They need some EQ to bring up the mids, good detail and sound stage on them though. I think they're worth that, but not MSRP (same with the DT1990/1770, nice but overpriced).
KEF Q150 is down to $300 at Best Buy with free pickup or free shipping. You have to be logged into your Best Buy account to see the reduced price in your cart.
