triceratops Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 A longtime friend of mine has been listening to Klipsch stuff at my house (specifically RF-7s, Khorns, La Scalas, and Cornwalls) for a few months and has decided he would like to buy a new pair of La Scala II's in cherry finish. Unfortunately, full MSRP is more than he can swing. I recall that when Dean bought his new Khorns way back when, he got them for about $2K less than retail. Does anyone have any ideas how my friend could get La Scala II's for a similarly significant discount? Please don't post prices or dealer's names on this thread, as that would surely cause some ill will. If you have any ideas about what would be a realistic street price or if you have a lead on a good deal on some LS II's, please send me an email or PM. If you have suggestions for general strategies for finding a pair, I'd love to hear it. I went on the Klipsch website and found there are no Heritage dealers in my area. Perhaps my friend could go to a Reference dealer (there are a few nearby), offer to pay in advance, and take delivery of the speakers in boxes at the retailer's store. The sale would require no discussion, no demo, no testing, no delivery, and no set-up. It would be a low-stress transaction for the dealer, and hopefully still profitable even at a reduced price. Any other thoughts? I hope that this question is not in poor form and doesn't violate Forum policy. Amy, please let me know if I should modify or delete this question--just trying to help a buddy get the speakers of his dreams! triceratops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Isn't Vann's an authorized dealer located up in Montana? I'd check them first. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Good point Michael... These are new like Palladiums... no real 2ndary market yet... And so on. You might get a deal at a distressed dealer..(Times are tough) or a little off a current authorised one.... but your not gonna see a lot off, becuase they are so new. As for the secondary older versions... Lot's of good deals to be had!! AND ENJOYED too. [8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I'd find a few of the closest dealers who could order them and shoot them an offer. I'd start at about $4000/pair and see if any will bite. Don't get too anxious, though. If there are no takers, you can always offer more.

triceratops Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Thanks for all the suggestions--I will pass them on to my friend. Has anyone been successful at getting a significant discount on current Heritage that was not on the retailer's floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Sometimes Vanns has B stock for around $1750 each so that would be $3500. Someone on the forum got this deal from Vanns. But you have to wait and check the Vanns website daily so you can catch these deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
