thxsubwoofers Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Wow!, now that makes the iFi system the best out there for that price for a 2.1 speaker system. Super Speakers and one powerfull low 8in woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they have a weird return policy. Call the manufacturer first and verify problem before establishing a RMA from that internet vendor. Most stores you just send it back if it is defective. Have to admit its the lowest price. But there are a number of internet vendors that you can readily trust for around $335. I have to admit not much movement now on reviews/comments or store action at several local vendors for the list priced iFi systems at $399. Mostly because few stores have them set up correctly. For example Sharper Image has them displayed without a iPod playing music? CompUSA and Circuit City have them in boxes on counters only? Some Apple stores don't have them even displayed (yet they are stocked). Amazon has the wrong technical details on the iFi speakers for weeks! And only two comments? Weird...huh? But it gets worse....notice how all these stores are promoting B$se with units out and displayed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, it is depressing, I just did my part and posted a review on Amazon.. the previous author actually said the older 2.1 THX's sounded better so I had to embarrass him. But i wrote a nice review and linked some pictures and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm incredibly tempted. Can anyone vouch for the quality of this vendor? They have a blanket "no return" policy, which makes me suspicious. Can we verify that they're not selling refurbished/used units or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Amy Posted August 9, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'm uncertain if they are an authorized dealer at this time. I'm trying to get in touch with our sales rep for iFi, who is traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Those BizRate statistics gave me pause. eCOST has 22% negative feedback and only 75% positive. And that's from a pretty sizeable sample size - 75,000 reviews. Maybe it's worth the risk though, given the price. Tough call. By comparison, Amazon.com's rating on the same site shows 2% negative feedback versus 96% positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
