big c Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I just read an article in audio revolution about the good guys going out of bussiness, so any body in so cal thinking of buying klipsch reference speakers, may be getting good deals soon.

J.4knee Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Yeah I am going to peruse the one closest to me to see if any deals are in the offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 But I thought they were just recently bought-out by CompUSA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 NIck, They were and CompUSA has decided the home electronics market is saturated and are closing the GG stores and expanding their own HT offerings, .....great now we will be able to get overpriced HTIB and the next version of Windows all in the same trip[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Are you serious? Saturated? But as far as I know, here in California (or LA at least), there are no other "mass market" stores that offer the more expensive, higher-end products that GG did. Best Buy certainly doesn't. Of course there are the likes of Ken Cranes and Sound Factor, but that's one step away from getting into boutique realm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just over to the GG in Escondido, the only one in North SD County that is still open for closeout sail. Their big deal %10 off MSRP. I'll pass.... I was going to see if they had an RSW 15 but all they had was an RSW 10 floor model for $900. IMO if you are going out of buisiness and want to sell your stock you need to make the offer attractive. Our only shot down here is Breier Audio and all they have is a pair beautiful Brazilian Rosewood Klipschorns signed by PWK on the floor that list at $15000. So yeah even though GG was not exactly known for their deals, at least they carried decent products. They were also our main venue for Parasound Halo products. But all we have now for floor space now is BB....whoopee![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yeah, I stopped by my local "Good Guys" on Friday to see if there were any deals to be had. Their "clearance" price is 10% off. Big Whoop. 10% gets them down to around list. Hardly a clearance and not even much of a sale. You can do better than 10% off GG's inflated prices just about anywhere, any day of the week. They had a demo RC-7 marked down to a mere $699. I got mine (also a demo) about a year ago for $499. No deals here, at least not yet...

nicholtl Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Ahh, that's a real shame. CompUSA sucks. Btw, Jim, my hookup to Parasound Halo products was never through GG (Parasound pulled their distributing license from GG a while back too), but through a dealer in Fort Worth, Texas. The prices were incredible, because he's one of the nation's largest Halo dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
