Not audio, but Crutchfield has Samsung TV's on sale with some big reductions. It's Super Bowl season, so maybe elsewhere too.

From what I can see, Ascend performance varies a lot by model, so unless somebody else can measure these, I'd not want them. The Ascend also often have serious distortion kick in around 200hz. The Klipsch are just awful. For 300+ for a pair, I'd wait for a deal on the JBL 3 series or go with many other tested speakers.
