I have got some really good deals and actually one REALLY bad deal.

The best deals I have gotten have been over the internet.

I bought a pair of rear Energy Veritas 2.0 speakers for $330. They retailed for $1,000.
I also got an Energy Veritas Center Channel for like $400, it retailed for $700.

But for the worst deal I have ever gotten, I am almost ashamed to say this, I bought '1' PSB speaker when I thought I was buying 2 of them. I went to my local dealer, 'Erik Farstad' and he laughed about it for a while and then ordered me another speaker.

Best deal I ever got by far was on my TV. About three years ago I bought a brand new out the box Sony KD-34XBR960 for only 700 US.

I've got to thank HomeTheaterForum, for it was here that I found someone's post indicating an internet store was having a sale on their Denon 3808CI for an incredible $945.00! I called them and they first told me the sale ended but when I mentioned HomeTheaterForum, I was placed on hold, then the gentleman came back on and said he'd honor the sale price. I received the Denon five days later and have been a happy camper ever since.

What I am listening to now are probably my two best deals:

Two matched KLH Model 17's for $10.

Behringer EP1500 for $130.

Thats my current setup in my apartment (grad school). At home I have the rest of my rig.

NHT Classic three center $700 payed $400
Onkyo 705 $730 payed $489
Vizio 50” plasma 3 years ago $2288.76 payed $1200
Tripplite power conditioner $170 payed $75
TV stand that was marked
with the wrong price $150 payed $73.25


Total $4938.76 payed $2535.25

Saving $2403.51 over regular price

Buying smart can really help build a far better system in the long run for less money.

a Marantz SR-6001 Receiver for $3! ... yes $3!
A client of mine had it in a finished basement room for about 4 months and it was unused because it was a vacation home. The client's sons were playing with a football and at some point the receiver was hit by the ball which broke off the volume knob. I was called in to replace a "Broken Receiver". When I arrived, I quickly realized it was an easy fix and told the client I would fix it instead for him. He said not to bother and to just replace the receiver and that I could keep the broken one if I liked.
So score...free receiver. $3 on ebay got me a new volume knob and I was then in business.

I got my samsung lcd ln40a630 for $500 off the $1599.00 price tag back in December.

And I got my onkyo s5100 for $349.00 with free second day air, when refurbs of the unit were going for $319.00+shipping.

Not too bad.

Back in the day 10 years ago I picked up my long gone bose surround on clearance for $700 down from $1800.00.
