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

Is this any good? I feel like I see the Integra amps pulling the KEF pricing trick
I believe its the same as Onkyo RZ50 with a few added or missing features. You can read the thread on the RZ50 on ASR.

Yes, with some caveats for home theater use - there is up to 9 channels of processing - including up to 4 Atmos 'channels' - the subwoofer jacks are not independent - it is not compatible with DLBC or Dirac ART. I think it is more of 'pricing trick' how one usually must spend quite a bit more to move from an AVR with support for 2 channels of Atmos to one with support for 4 channels of Atmos.
 
CD’s, Vinyl, and more 50% off until January 6th. Can’t validate quality or if they are merely rips(CDs), but I just purchased a dozen for kicks to add to the collection

UDiscover and Sound of Vinyl are Warner subsidiaries. Their stock is legit and in most cases the pressing info can be easily found with UPCs (I think they show up when you add to cart).

No better deal on audiophile/AAA series like Tone Poet, Acoustic Sounds, etc

For any jazz-curious, Blue Note Classics at ~$14 a pop is probably the best deal in the game
 
Crutchfield is currently discounting select 'High Gloss Black' variants of the Revel Concerta2 line of loudspeakers

F36 - $699 each
F35 - $499 each
M16 - $399 each

 
I have JBl HDI 1600/4500 as my LCR and PSB P5 as my surrounds. Would M16s (another Harman product) be worthy as surrounds or overkill?

Possibly overkill. I perceive the M16 as providing access to thoughtful design in a bookshelf/standmount loudspeaker. Consider the F35 in High Gloss White for $400 each at Crutchfield, IF they fit your listening space and aesthetic.

If you are in the USA, Crutchfield still has certain colors of the HDI-3600 floorstander for $999 ea. Upgrade your L/R and move the HDI-1600s to the rear. If you're gonna upgrade - upgrade! :cool:

Unfortunately apartment life means towers are not really possible (or subs). I did consider getting more 1600s as surrounds but the P5s were had for like $100 and I can’t think of a better price to performance ratio for the job really.

Their stock may be legit, but reddit, FakeSpot, and other sources say that the company is terrible at customer service, forgets orders, sends the wrong items, etc:

Proceed with caution! I was about to put in a several hundred dollar order but am going to hold off now I think.

This was true before they changed fulfillment companies. In the last six or so months they’ve operated like any other online retailer. The horror stories of yesteryear aren’t really that common any more

I placed an order 12/26 and got it 12/31. Prior orders would take weeks to ship.
