LSis, quietly moving out???

I got a headsup the other day on AVS from a guy that walked into Pacific Sales, an appliance and electronics store(s). He walked out with a pair of LSi9s on closeout at a ridiculously low price. I had to check it out, so I went to a local store and asked. There's very little inventory left throughout their chain (none in San Jose)...and yes...they have been moving LSis out, quietly, to make room for LSiMs. However, if you have a Pacific Sales store in your area, call them and ask about LSi inventory. Then ask if they'll offer floor model pricing. If yes and yes, then you'll be on your way before they hang up.

Combo rig:

Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
PB13Ultra RO
BW Silvers
Oppo BDP-83SE

    ^^ Just a guess, but I think Ron was trying to be discreet by not throwing the pricing out there... :wink::wink:

    Wonder if I can catch some across the border in Ontario?

    I understand that but why create a thread with half the info. This isn't AVS, you can disclose prices here.

    Exactly! Others don't need to know.

    Unfortunately, this is the last place in Baltimore where you can hear or buy LSi or even RTi

    - < 5 miles from the headquarteers, and the only in at least a 50 mile radius.

    Lee, I'm protecting the Polk dealer. I got the feeling he thought I might be a Polk rep checking up on them. My point is that if you have a Pacific Sales store in your area...not likely for those in the midwest...then it would be worthwhile to do as I suggest and check on remaining inventory.

    I am sure you could find out if you are really interested.

    People just can't do enough for some around here.

    Unfortunately they don't give pricing info out over the phone either. Called a couple stores in the SoCal area --no stock and didn't seem to be aware the line was about to be discontinued. They insisted they could order them, but it sounded like it would be at full MSRP.
