(OH yeh if u can tell me were the cheapest place is to get a panasonic sa-xr55,thanx) |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7723 Registered: Dec-03 | It can't be as expensive as the others, because if you get the others,they add the same things to it as well. You shouldn't be paying taxes if you are buying on line. Try audioadvisor.com or onecall.com. |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7724 Registered: Dec-03 | If you can get it for $299, that's a good price. Best Buy has that with free shipping at that price. |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 64 Registered: Apr-06 | Nope its charging me like $30 shipping???? |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7729 Registered: Dec-03 | Check again. I was just on that site and it indicates free shipping. |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 65 Registered: Apr-06 | Nah for me it says its $26 for the athena's shipped??? but Best Buy just reduced the price of the Athenas to $283.99. (tell me were it says free shipping?) |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 66 Registered: Apr-06 | I typed in my zip code and it said i have to pay $18 tax? wtf i thought i didnt have to? |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7746 Registered: Dec-03 | It says free shipping on select items. Just call BestBuy and straighten it out. |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 67 Registered: Apr-06 | no it says free shipping on select accessories ex: cables etc....? |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7748 Registered: Dec-03 | Ooops, sorry Silas. I mucked that one. I haven't bought from BestBuy in a long time. It's weird how they have that "free shipping" crap on only a few speaker systems. Don't know about the tax thing...don't you have a Best Buy near you? |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 68 Registered: Apr-06 | Lol, no worries m8. Yeh i got a localBest buy, but they dont sell em in store???? so i cant do the instore pick up option because they dont have it instore only online. |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7752 Registered: Dec-03 | Another thing you can do is check out Audioadvisor.com or onecall.com. Talk to a rep(they have great customer service) and ask if they can give you the same or better price than BestBuy. Tally all the expenses and see which one has the better final price. Go to the Athena website and locate a dealer. http://www.athenaspeakers.com/wheretobuyretailer.htm |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 69 Registered: Apr-06 | OK, thanks for the advice Berny. |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 70 Registered: Apr-06 | Hey do you think when i get the athenas, that i will need to buy like 16 or 14 gauge wire????? or to connect dvd players and stuff like that??? |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7812 Registered: Dec-03 | 14 gauge is good for speaker wire. What else are you using for your HT? Go here http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/cables.htm |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 71 Registered: Apr-06 | Im just using stock cables right now!!! i got direct tv hd with stock component cables. Do u think i should use a hdmi cable for it? my tv has an input for it?? |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7818 Registered: Dec-03 | Make sure that your Direct TV HD is actually using the HDMI output as well. Call your provider for clarification before buying cables and connecting it to your TV. You already pay them enough so might as well use their tech support |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 72 Registered: Apr-06 | Yeh it has an hdmi output on the back. Is the Hdmi better quality??? or is it another one of those scams like monster cable is??? |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 7828 Registered: Dec-03 | Good question...here's a read http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/dvihdmicomponent.htm |
Bronze Member Username: Silas92Post Number: 73 Registered: Apr-06 | Hey thanks for that Berny, I guess it depends then so i shouldnt realy worrie about it for now??? |
