Any Holiday Sales Thread

Ya know joe, I seem to recall @KEW informing us the the 1200 actually had better numbers, or very very similar. Dang it, can’t remember now... maybe he’ll chime in.

Here is some observation by KEW on the Dayton 1200/1500. You can reply on that thread:

Interesting observations on budget subwoofers.

Often, we get people looking for advice on a system with a total budget of $1,000, or even $5-600. In those cases, it is a bit of a stretch to recommend the kind of subs that Audioholics are likely to. Reviews of these inexpensive subs are generally limited to buyers who throw up a quick video...

It was Brent Butterworth's review for Wirecutters. Google "budget subs butterworth" and it should take you to the article. The SUB 1200 is the "golden child"!
Edit - I see that AL2 posted a good link!

Harman Audio has select Infinity Reference Speakers on sale as listed below. Shipping is free.
Infinity Reference RS152 Surround Speakers (Pair) $134.95
Infinity Reference R152 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) $134.99
Infinity Reference RC252 Center Speaker $134.95
Infinity Reference RC263 Center Channel $159.95
Infinity Reference R162 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) $159.95
& More

2 quick comments on these:
1) From what I understand of @shadyJ 's posts the bi-pole speakers (RS152 surrounds) are generally not preferable surrounds over standard BS speakers like the R152!
2) For only $20 more, the three-way RC263 is far superior to the two-way RC252! Only if you don't have the space should you consider the RC252!

I may pick these up if I have a job waiting for me on Saturday. Long story short while bathing I got the worse pain in my back on Monday before going to work. I could hardly walk still hardly can't right now. I went to the hospital today and was given a shot for the pain and meds. I normally wouldn't have, but it so damn painful. Anyway I don't think my boss believes me. I did get a letter from the doc. I really wanted the JBL 530, but had to wait and now sale is over.

I had a bone fragment work itself out of my gums for a month and they wouldn't give me poop for pain meds! I swear, all of the doctors I go to must be sadists. I almost never get anything good!

Yeah. They’re fixing the opioid epidemic by not giving meds to those could use em. I ran my foot into a stump that was underwater in 2018. 8 weeks on crutches, and a stupid boot, but no. No meds. Couldn’t put any weight on it, even laying in bed, on my side, stomach OR back. It just felt like someone parked a truck on it. But hey, keep the weight off of it, and overdose on ibuprofen and Tylenol. Thanks for nothing. Thank god for whiskey.

I got a couple of the JBL Link Views when they were $120 (IIRC). They are nice units and do not have the YouTube restrictions that the Amazon Show does!
The second one is for my daughter who (although she is not into the Alexa/Google thing) was impressed at how good it is for finding and displaying recipes for the kitchen (as well as good music)!

 

[Verdinut]

Talking about sales, sellers should think of making the special offers available on line only, as a bunch of people running to a store to benefit from an irresistible price simultaneously is not a good idea with the current situation.

I don't know anything about Starz and generally feel like there is plenty of content that I missed when it came out (I watch, but not a big TV guy).
However, can someone suggest some of the better content that Starz offers? $25 for 6 months is a pretty good deal (as long as you can end it after the trial period)!

Ash vs. Evil Dead
American Gods

Alot great TV shows Starz series on there + newer movies like the Tarantino Hollywood movie. For 4 bucks a month not bad, then cancel.
