My friend is planning to buy martin Logan vantage speakers by this week end. Which amp will match (pre and power combo or processor and power blocks) with these speakers? He said on MRP they are offering 85% discount

He is in Chicago. He is a novice. Please guide. Shall I advise him to go and buy or look out for other speakers?

Regards

Namaste,

Thanks Bhagwan Ji. I will ask him to proceed further. My friend told me that US market is in very bad shape, and they are willing to sell many branded products on weight basis.Any audiophiles from States can through light in this regard.

If that is the case - then Bombaywalla should consider a CD Player upgrade - Esoteric P3 + D3 @ 85 % is a steal. If your friend can get one for me, the funds are ready. I too will consider.

Hmmmm

Not sure if the us market is that bad across the country. Didn't get any news like that from the people I know.

Bombaywala, your comments appreciated ? Wonder when our dealers here would drop prices to 85 percent of their msrp ? :-)

Thanks for the suggestion, Bhagwan69!
If the Esoteric P3 + D3 is going for 85% I should seriously consider buying the pair w/ my eyes shut!

Nietzsche, can you please provide the dealer's name in Chicago? You can PM email w/ that info. I will then contact him for details. Thanks!

Maybe we should consider a 'Group Buy' ... 20 pieces and maybe get a further discount ?

Incidentally, just yesterday I was reading Stereopile and it said that a survey showed that the UK HiFi industry last year was more resilient than other consumer goods !

I studied yesterday's Times Of India clip, and from what I read, the Blue Foods sale was a REALLY good deal for SC.

He really sold only a PART (yes majority) of GOODWILL for Rs 150 Crores while retaining ALL is Real Estate and running hotels !

The deal was done apparently 2 months ago, and he probably would get no-where near that money for 'goodwill' today, with Dark Clouds of recession looming...

It does not look like a distress sale, but a well timed business decision.

Correct, Manek. I am not receiving any such pieces of news either. Prices of certain hi-fi gear + accessories have not dropped much. A dealer that I know used to give 20% off regularly & is not offering 25% off. Other internet dealers are offering closer to 30% off. Certain used gear, if hot, is holding up its re-sale value very well. People are not willing to let those items go for low-ball prices. I have tried to tempt them for a few items that I have interest in right now.
I also understand that most dealers have reduced or eliminated stock & are charging 15-20% re-stocking fees if you return a custom order item. Also understand that if one has to repair an item thru the dealer the time is fairly long esp. if the gear is imported as they dealer/distrib has to order the part from overseas. This happened to a friend's friend who needed new xformers for his Art Audio tube amp.
FWIW.

I'm hunting for the ML Dynamo sub (which normally comes with the Vantage home theeater set). Any idea if that is on sale as well? I'd really appreciate it if you could ask your friend...thanks!

The offer looks too good to be true. Search Google with the string "white van speaker scam".
