Athena AS-F2.2 in Canada

[ltworf13]

I'm very interested in getting the Athena AS-F2.2 but I've only been able to found them at Futureshop $799 CAD. Does anyone know where I can order it in Canada and at a better price.

In my area, Ottawa, FS is the only place that athena says sells their speakers.
I don't know which area you are at, but I suspect it is probably similar.
That being said, FS a few times a year has some pretty good mark downs, athena must be up for another 30% mark down soon. I have never tried to haggle at FS, but maybe they will drop their price.

I'd suggest you haggle at FS.

Two weeks ago I went in and got the WS100's ($700 reg) and the AS C1.2 ($230 reg) for $665. I went in this week and got the AS P4000 for $200 (reg $400) beacuse I happened to print out the web only price that was in March.

Luckily in Toronto I can keep going to different ones to get a deal (with the P4000 the first one I went to would only go as low as $300 and wouldn't offer the sale price. 30 minutes later I was walking out of another FS with it at $200)

These stores need to move these big ticket items - in the end it shows as a sale. Obviously the salespeople aren't too happy with little or no comission out of the deal.

Thanks T, That's good to know. I had no idea you could haggle with FS. I also got the P4000 for $200 on sale. what a great SW, loving it.

Hi, I work for Futureshop and give you a great deal if you're interested. Are you in the Greater Toronto Area?

That would be great, I'd travel to Brampton for the right price. Would you give them to me for $600. My email address is wynter@rogers.com
