How to get Monoprice stuff cheaper?

I was planning on buying 3 Monoprice THX-LCRs on Black Friday for my new 5.2.4 system I am putting in the basement. When I planned it these were around $250. Now they have gone up about $150 each. Are there any promo codes, or will there be a better Black Friday sale? I gave them a call and I got 10% off which is better but still not great.


If the Monoprice thing doesn't work out, what else could replace it for 600-800 USD for all 3? I will attach a picture of the layout of the room and the room itself (which is a bit old but the idea remains the same), they must be in walls. RSL? $200 a piece.

Did you look at OSD?

They get recommended every once in a while around here. No experience myself though.

Some more good options here (Polk, B&W, and Focal):

I wouldn’t be concerned because they go on sale frequently. I have the tower/mini tower versions; they’re good home theater speakers.
I've been looking on and off for the last 2 months and haven't seen anything. Now that it's getting close to Black Friday I've been getting antsy.

I have seen them but the stats don't seem real. Can an 8-inch driver hit 28 hz? I would prefer if I could buy the speakers new, preferably (but not limited to) Amazon. How are the RSL speakers, I have seen very good things about them.

In the proper enclosure, yes. I don't know anything about the speakers you are asking about, but the single 8" driver in my speakers can certainly get down there. They are rated for 25Hz but in-room actually go lower. But they aren't inexpensive.

I don't believe those are sold anymore, correct me if I am wrong though.

So then what is the solution? I want to order these things this weekend.

@Zorba922 do you have any ideas? You helped me with the original setup immensely.
