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

Kind of confused, wasn't the msrp 799, that post shows 899 and on sale 809.

Previously asked my question because I picked up a liquid platinum from the store open box, and it wasn't even technically open box, they were just doing a liquidation of stuff that staff members had probably been given to use for free. I actually enjoy the amp even though I would not consider it tube'y at all. But I only paid a 125, and they provided me a new pair of tubes too.

TX-RZ3100 | Onkyo

www.onkyousa.com

does visions ship to the US?

Firm believer in Onkyo, they do probably have some kind of a house sound I would assume. I picked an AVR with hdmi from like 2008 or something like that, dont think it was flagship from local thrift store for 20 dollars and the unit was in beyond mint condition absolutely no cosmetic flaws. My goodness I am fairly impressed, it definitely has my taste in sonics for sure. Doesn't support arc or anything, but as I have it setup as a sound bar replacement in my living room on 3 channels I would honestly say it has really high performance. Not sure if older onkyo is better, it's thx select rated as well. It has really peaked my interest.

They were selling it at the ~$165 for only an hour or two after I posted the link.

I usually use slickdeals with keyword notifications for "monolith". It's the easiest way to stay ahead of the swarm of sales that make these deals very short lived.

Monoprice Monolith by Monoprice Liquid Platinum $167

Just came across this and know that some missed the sale earlier this morning. I looked into the site on trust pilot and they have lots of mixed reviews but are at least legit. https://www.discount ...

That Onkyo unit is in the US, not Visions, so you can use the link and just buy if you want. I think to get an 11.2 for that price is just wow!

Also, for the exact same price this 9.2 is the new unit with the new tech, 2.1. My understanding is Onkyo and Pioneer are related?

Yep. Slickdeals notifications are great for that.

And as soon as a deal that good pops up on Slickdeals, people will start buying it up to resell on Ebay. So one has to be quick to catch it before it sells out.

This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL SP200 THX technology headphone amplifier. It was recently announced and company was kind enough to send me a sample. SMSL tells me the retail cost will be US $289.99. This would place it in the middle of the pack of our reference quality...

There is a HUGE Bowers and Wilkins deal in Best Buy!!

Most bookshelf speakers are discounted 40 to 50% which is crazy!!

 

[Shanman]

I see no B&W on sale there, mostly KEF and Martin Logan stuff.

I see no B&W on sale there, mostly KEF and Martin Logan stuff.

It lasted probably three hours. Most bookshelf speakers went out of stock. I did get the 706 s2 for 999.99usd, a 50% discount!!

The 705 s2 were also 50% off at 1650usd! Wow.

This 3-way KRK has a lot for the money, 10" woofer, 300 watts, down to 26Hz according to KRK, $499 each.

Likely great for the money. Perhaps not great in the absolute scheme of things.

The one KRK that Amir reviewed got a thumbs up, I seem to remember he rather liked it.

Pretty good deal on new Klipsch R-15pm powered monitors for $175. These were discontinued by Klipsch and replaced with the R-51PM. I've had a pair for about 4 years and they're very good at this price point especially since shipping is free with this seller (99.1% feedback). Amazon is selling them for $275 and MSRP was $499.

Optical, Bluetooth, RCA/phono switchable, 3.5mm, USB DAC, and subwoofer output. Crutchfield spec page for more details.

Add a sub and you have a great secondary or computer setup.
