View Full Version : MSRP on VP-15S1 drops to $9k Robert Whitehead 01-28-08, 10:23 AM At Marantz's site. VP-11S2 still not up; VP-11S1 gone. Jason Turk 01-28-08, 01:25 PM Actually it used to be $9995 MSRPl, $8995 MAP. They just recently changed it to $8995 MAP/MSRP to avoid confusion. coldmachine 01-28-08, 01:33 PM I hear its also being very well discounted to a very low street price. The 11S2 has just been massively slashed as well. Good news, for the customer at least. Jason Turk 01-28-08, 01:41 PM Actual pricing varies dealer to dealer, but it definitely has potential for better than those prices. Catdaddy67 01-28-08, 01:49 PM What is the 11S2 "massively slashed" to? 8) MSRP wise .. and PM me the street if you can Jason. AVS did have a very low pre-order price on the 15S1, but I think its gone now. But I would wager its still a pretty good price considering what they were selling it for before the MSRP went down to MAP. The discounting on it I was quoted was about the same percentage off as the discounting I was getting on other very similar pjs.

Willing to be corrected though Jason Turk 01-28-08, 02:19 PM Well I think the confusion is that originally at Cedia they planned for the 11S2 to be $19995. Then when it actually shipped they ended up at $15995 list. But it hasn't really been "slashed" since it started to ship. coldmachine 01-28-08, 02:24 PM Well I think the confusion is that originally at Cedia they planned for the 11S2 to be $19995.

Robert Whitehead 01-28-08, 02:43 PM Jason- In the Marantz CES PR, the MSRP of the VP-11S2 is given as $14,995. Jason Turk 01-28-08, 10:25 PM Ah coldmachine...my bad. coldmachine 01-28-08, 10:26 PM No problem. My post was actually unclear tbh. Jason Turk 01-28-08, 10:30 PM No worries. darinp2 01-29-08, 02:54 AM Well I think the confusion is that originally at Cedia they planned for the 11S2 to be $19995.

But it hasn't really been "slashed" since it started to ship.My memory is that at CEDIA there was no mention of the MSRP for the 11S2, but some people may have assumed it would be the same price as the 11S1 (or maybe some rep incorrectly told some people it would be the same). I specifically remember that there was no tag stating what the MSRP would be for the 11S2. I came out of CEDIA thinking that the 11S2 would have a lower MSRP than the 11S1 did. --Darin Spizz 01-29-08, 07:28 AM Good news, for the customer at least. I agree. Better than a major price increase. Jason Turk 01-29-08, 01:42 PM Indeed...if they could have only gone even lower! :) |
