On my Kef refference fours on my veloydne sub and my theater grand i never paid anything close to retail price. Should i just be thankfull for the luck ive had and now pay retail or is there some thing i can do to learn his secrets. Im looking for the Martin loagn vantage

Certainly not, timing can be a big factor however. Buying new gear,I have often found the best time to buy is in the spring, around the George Washington birthday sales. Places like to clear out all the stuff they did not sell in the previous year. Buying a few things at one time usually helps to sweeten the pot for youself as well. Good luck and good hunting.
