I talked to a Sweetwater sales rep and got a price for a JBL 708P in the low 1700 range, which is a better price than everywhere else. If they carry what you want, it's worth contacting them.
For folks who don't buy music (like, instruments, not hifi) gear much, generally if you call them you can get up to a 15% discount pretty easily. This goes for Sweetwater, Guitar Center / Musician's Friend, Zzounds etc. Not sure about Sam Ash. It's not perfectly reliable and doesn't apply to sale items blah blah but it's how that industry niche tends to operate, to try to build customer loyalty with your 'sales rep'. So if you're looking for a music interface, PA power amp etc bargain and don't mind speaking to a human, it's a viable angle.
