For Canadians:
This is the day I’ve been waiting for, since last Christmas.
Last year at around this time, we could buy studio monitors between 10% to 15% off, from:
- acclaim-music
- avshop
- musiccitycanada
- musiquegagne
This year, I see that 2 resellers are having a discount sale for studio monitors for Black Friday.
1. avshop.ca offers a 10% off everything, including studio monitors
2. musiccitycanada.com offers between 10% to 30% off most items. But limited to up to 15% off studio monitors.
I've added various studio monitors to cart to see their discounts:
Mfg | % discount |
Mackie | 0% |
Genelec
Presonus
Neumann
Focal (some, not all)
KRK
JBL
Adam
Yamaha
Kali | 10% |
To get the deal:
1. avshop.ca has an automatic 10% discount applied at checkout, nothing needs to be done
2. musiccitycanada.com, you need to apply coupon
BLACKFRIDAY at checkout to see the discount applied
If you haven't purchased a set of good studio monitors yet...it's time.
If you're thinking of Genelecs:
1. musiccitycanada.com seems to only carry 80x0/83x0 series of Genelecs. Not the Ones.
2. avshop.ca carries 80x0/83x0 series. But more importantly The Ones. 8331, 8341, 8351 (but not 8361, perhaps a custom order can be made? not sure)

1. Economik.com, discount auto-applied
2. MoogAudio.com, with coupon

Initially when I posted this deal, musiccitycanada.com had 15% off for JBL, Adam, Yamaha, and Kali. However, on 2021-11-26, they changed their pricing to only be 10% off for those brands.
