rennoc442 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm looking at replacing my computer speakers. I want to get the promedia 2.1 from Klipsch. Was going to buy from best buy, and get my points! But now here in central fl, they are not in stock anymore. So should I go ahead and order from bestbuy.com? Or from Klipsch.com? Both same price, both free shipping, but with best buy I get my reward points! Any pro for buying right from Klipsch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'd go with BB for the reward points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennie Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Wait a minute, did you look at Amazon.com. Sometimes they are cheaper than the Klipsch site. Just a thought, Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennie Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I hate Best Buy! [:@] But that's my thing. Why not amazon? I too think buying from Klipsch is a good thing and we like to keep Amy Happy! But, I would check amazon, unless you hate them like I hate best buy![:@] Dennie [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Check carefully, but buying from Amazon -there is a link to purchase the Klipsch speakers from klipsch. OR you can go directly to the Klipsch site and purchase directly. Amazon link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000062VUO/ref=sr_1_1_olp?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1281568939&sr=1-1&condition=new http://www.klipsch.com/shop/ipod-and-computer-speakers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrinkles Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I do not know anything about the Best Buy point system, but... And I do not know the answer to my following question. Who do you think would would give you the best service? Or, would buying directly from Klipsch give you quicker response on a waraanty issue than from buying from BB? I don't think it matters, but I do not know. All things being equal and apparently they are not with the BB point system, I would buy from Klipsch. That way Klipsch makes the more profit and not BB.

gnatnoop Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 if it's the same price, then you need to decide who you think you want to give your money to... best buy buys the item from klipsch at wholesale, klipsch makes some $, and best buy makes some $ when they mark it up again and sell it to the end consumer. if you buy it direct from klipsch, they get their normal profit plus the profit that best buy would have made. note that both klipsch and best buy need to cover additional expenses associated with selling to the final retail customer.

rennoc442 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't like amazon.com because, well I like to see and touch it before I buy it. So I support brick and mortar stores. That being said, I went ahead and got it from best buy. I want to try and support best buy keeping Klipsch there, since it looks like they are being slowly weeded out. Hell the magnolia part doesn't even carry the wf line, or the xd. Klipsch really needs to keep their equipment out in stores so people can see and hear them in person. You won't see me buying a new Klipsch model that II have neither seen or listened to in person! And if they are going to try and sell both their low end and upper end at a store, they need to EDUCATE the sales team on why a person should buy the $1,500 pair of Klipsch over the $500 pair! That alone is why best buy couldn't sell the WF line! BTW, they sound pretty good. More boomier then I like, even with the sub at 1/4! And its made in China?! Wtf? I can't even brag about Klipsch being an all USA built anymore. Sigh ok enough of my rant, still love Klipsch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 BTW that was the last 2.1 they had, and it wasn't even in the computer as in stock! And the sales rep said there isn't anymore being ordered. Wow what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think if is for any other reason. They are in business to make PROFIT and could care less about what you want or need! But again, that is my thing!

rennoc442 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Ok, how about this analogy; which automobile would make the most profit, a Ford focus, or a Lincoln Navigator? Both are from the same manufacture, but I'm sure the sales person who sells the focus will not make as much of a commission as that of the sales person who just sold the navigator. Sure one could sell 10 focus's to 1 navigator, since one cost like $40,000 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
