Hifi bargins

[Andrewjvt]

I brought brand new products which gave me temporary enjoyment but yesterday I've just realised that there is much more joy in a good 2nd hand bargin.

Early this year I've brought an end of the line marantz sr7011 AV amp for £800 (saving over £400 on the latest similar sr7012)

I brought a tannoy precision 6c centre speaker for £349 brand new at richer sounds (saving £800)

Best of all yesterday a pair of really good condition tannoy precision 6.1 stand mounts for only £260 (£899 new)

So for less than £1500 I've built a fairly decent home theatre set up.

What hifi bargins have you guys done lately?

 

[lpv]

but I like your bargain corner *good*

if I could only be more patient...

Avi dm12 at new cost a bargin also if you compare competition products price.

AVI are looking expensive now they have changed owner. The AVI 10s were only about £1400. How much do the 12s cost?

 

[lpv]

dm12s are £3000

 

[lpv]

the question is: expensive compared to what?

The Dm10 cost £2000
The dm12 cost £3000
But you can get dm12 for £2500 in places I believe
But if you hear how good they are they can compete with speakers/amps much higher cost imo

 

[lpv]

also, I don't think avi changed ownership as the main man is ( and was) martin grindrod

I shopped around for deals for everything in my setup. It’s quite easy to do these days.

 

[BigH]

the question is: expensive compared to what?

Compared to what the prices were about 2 years ago. AVI 9RS were £1,250, 10s were £1,500. Now 12s are £3k.

I agree used is better value and if I was buying again I would be looking at used gear not new.

Bigger 'Bargins' = Lower Margins....

yeah, I feel your pain

all avi current and future models for the rest of the times should be max or below £1250

I'm not bothered I'm not looking to buy any, just was surprised how much they had gone up.

Well, anything sold for less than trade is a bargain...

Without motive I think we are looking for - not bitter ex dealers attention seeking spoil tactics.
