Well, it is traditional in the American materialistic nature to buy, buy, buy, but no other day during the calendar year does more of this shopping happen then TODAY. So, although HT gear is not a tradition in America, did any of your fanatics buy any HT-related gear, today?

 

[Kipp Jones]

I do not go shopping on this day for obvious reasons.

 

[WanMan]

Neither do I, but we are the exception to the rule, otherwise I feel the current buying behavior of the unwashed masses would probably be different. Besides, do you think there are that many people holding off to buy big-ticket items when the specialty shops probably wouldn't budge a bit on price, or would they (do I need to run out and buy something)?

I stayed away from the malls and superstores, but I did visit

a local AV shop and purchased the following:


Klipsch RF-3 II main speakers

Klipsch RC-3 II center channel speaker

Klipsch RS-3 II surrounds


Now if my Panny RP-82 would get delivered (I wish I hadn't

ordered from CrazyEddie), I'll be all set!

I bought a CinemaWise custom movie intro DVD. It'll be what my wife gives me for Christmas.

I spent 45 minutes in a checkout line to cash out a componet video cable at 7am at my local circuit city store. Never goining near a store day after Thanksgiving again.

 

[tceverha]

I worked therefore I did not buy a thing!

I added 10 more break-in hours on my speakers. Being an early adopter, Santa cames to my house in November.

[sandbagger]

I went crazy at BB and got a new 17" Samsung LCD monitor for $400, plus a new Lexmark color printer for $20. I also got a new scanner for my son, a Visioneer for $20! The monitor replaced my old 17" NEC which my grandaughter immediately took to her computer. What a difference in showing small details this monitor has made! My old Canon 610 printer needed all four cartridges repalced. Instead of spending $34 for them, I got the new Lexmark printer, hell of a lot faster! I don't print too often, anyway.

You will not be disappointed with that purchase. They will sound best after ~50 hours of use.

All of the big high-end AV dealers around here are running massive sales from now till Christmas. Even you could get a discount. And if you act nice to them you might even get to try it out first.

Nothing I am home bound.

Went to CC with the intent of just listening to the Infinity Interlude IL10s versus the Polk RTi something-or-others. Didnt intend to buy anything.


But man was i suprised. In a side by side test using the same cd, same receiver, etc, the IL10s sounded soo much better then the Polks.


Even my WIFE commented that she heard a big difference between the 2 and said the Polks "sounded empty". They had them for a good price so i picked up a couple of Interlude IL10s and the Entra Center Two.


Very happy with my buy!

I usually never venture out on that crazy day...but the wife actually wanted to go to BestBuy?!? So we went. I picked up heavy duty speaker wall mounts (open box) special for about $35. We also bought several DVD's for my oldest son and brother-in-law. We also got the 4 Dics LOTR ($29.99) for $19.99, due to a gracious checkout girl.

Carl, I am going to print this and take it with me tomorrow, or Wednesday, and see if I can get a new Subfire MkIV for $900. What do you think my chances are?
