The reviews look good. Monoprice has really great wire, connectors, fiber optic, etc. at incredibly low prices. But, a subwoofer at this price?

Its: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10906&cs_id=1090602&p_id=8249&seq=1&format=3#specification

I have never heard of Monoprice until now. It looks like they have some really great deals! It seems like it might be worth a try.

I wasn't familiar with Monoprice either, so thanks for the link. Although, I have to wonder, who would actually take advantage of the bulk pricing? Who needs 50+ subwoofers?!
Check out the pricing on wire, etc. [message #71876 is a reply to message #71870] Wed, 21 March 2012 20:31 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Monoprice first came to my attention on AVS forum. I just bought 300 feet of 14 gauge twin lead speaker wire. It's the kind that has a red or blue stripe running the entire length, so you know what is positive on the other end of a run. It cost me $70.00.

They have all kinds of lengths of fiber optic cable with metal protected ends and the entire length is metal braided. The stuff is amazingly cheap and really good.

Put all you stuff in one order though. You can easily pay more in shipping and handling than the price of the merchandise if you order one thing today and another the next. The shipping is reasonable, but not if you are ordering $5.00 worth of wall plate or such in one order and a few odds and ends in another.

They have HDMI cables of the latest version. They are heavy enough to be used as a weapon.

Anyway, they were one of the few good surprises I've run across.

Someone who will resell them at three times the cost. Maybe put a different name plate on them.

Actually, I think Wayne Parham would prefer 50 subwoofers in his ultimate distribution of bass. Sorry Wayne, couldn't help myself.

Ah, I didn't think of that; you make an excellent point. Maybe I need 50 subwoofers to resell at triple the price. I could use a little extra cash... Twisted Evil
