Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

[MacCali]

So salty I missed the deals on the KEF R series center and bookshelf speakers. I am glad I got the R11s and R8s tho, guess I'll just have to wait some years for the metas to go on clearance.

Honestly I got the R7’s none meta bet it would take a whole lot of convincing to make the meta pair be that much better than the 1100 with tax I paid for what were[non meta] and are 4400 or whatever they[meta’s] be selling them at. I would of bought the 11’s but they are kind of too large. This was for the pair, might add

Irony in this is I think I’m about to buy the salon 2’s

I would buy the Salon 2's if I had the means and a larger listening space. Instead I will be buying a pair of Performa3 F206's next month.

They are on EOL sale and may be gone soon. I'd advise you not to wait.

The Perform 3 (standard, not the Be series) are also EOL.

That's what I meant (the immediate antecedent).

Was the acronym 'EOL' in common use before the age of computing ?

IF I am fortunate to get a little notice on my eventual demise, I am thinking of using the acronym EOL to announce it.

I bought and had the KEF R3 in my home but due to some expenses that popped up elsewhere I had to return them. I was so pissed.

You are aware that the Salon2s and Performa 3 are EOL.
Others may not be aware, so I wanted to make that clear.

Regarding the Revels, is that coming from a dealer or distributor or what? I've called a few spots asking if they know anything about it (e.g. if I ordered now and price adjusted when a sale hits) and no one has alluded to knowing anything about it.

Hm.

Crutchfeld and Music Direct both stated they didn't see anything. I could order and get a price adjustment if needed but would rather just wait a week.

Been tempted by the M105.

I tried calling Revel directly but their phone wasn't taking calls for some reason

Try contacting dealers like thescreeningroom and Steveh via private message.

Deals may be available that are only available privately and not to be posted on forums...

The real question is are they worth it, 150 lbs per speaker. Huge price tag. Really debating. I’ve always wanted those speakers and also I know Amir uses them in his reference system.

I could definitely afford them, but looking at the spinorama data makes me hesitant

I've run into that with aoshida-us a few times but never with Hificollege, they test their stuff. I spoke with an Amazon rep and returns for defective don't count against your account negatively, but it's still disappointing. If there's two or three of an item I usually get them all just in case one is a dud. Aoshida tells you to return it, but Hificollege honors their 1 year warranty, so I prefer them always if it's a similar item/price.
I have a C200 coming from the tomorrow so I'm holding my breath to see if it's good. This took 3 weeks from Aoshida in China so it should be one that's checked out.

Thanks. I did ordered another but this time it was a new item. The only available seller in Amazon was Aoshida. Did not see HifiCollege offering it.

The real question is are they worth it,

yes

I am happy to see a posting report there will be replacement for the Performa3 series. I do not understand why Samsung/Harman/Revel is choosing to cede the market to the competitors until then.

There may be a mistake or something but the price is about half of what it supposed to be.
