Sales or clearances happening now

I noticed a HUGE sale at Cary Audio right now. My guess is that they want to keep cash flowing and that they were also going to offer some discounts at the (now cancelled) trade shows, so they budgeted for this, partly.

Has anyone else seen any major sales on gear in the last couple weeks?

[Caveat: I know there are many more important things happening, and that our country is in a crisis. I assume anyone reading this is doing so because they are not one of the people trying to save lives, and that they see reading or talking about audio as a way to stay sane. If this post devolves into something political, etc. I will unfollow End of caveat.]

I'm a bit of a news junky but during this time I have avoided getting mired in the details. I would rather accept the situation and spend time with family, doing projects around the home and reading/learning about audio stuff. I have been thinking about a second pair of speakers. I haven't quite reached the point of making the decision but boy, I'm thinking about it. Keep in mind that what drives the economy is the churn of dollars in the market. Anything you purchase will help someone. It's interesting, I stopped into a deli/market the other day where I know the owner. He said business has never been better. Since folks aren't going out to eat his business is booming.

@falconquest I'd be curious what you find or consider for a second pair. I am waiting on some Salk speakers that are going to take a long time to get to me, so I just jumped on a price dip for some Klipsch RP-600M speakers. But, there are some sweet deals with the independent maker Ascend Acoustics which intrigue me, and I'm hoping to try some of Fritz Heiler's speakers, too.

Agree. Have Platinum too and slowly moving over from the Silver, but the Silver Series is still a very good place to start and competes well with others at the same price point.

Ha! I am actually thinking about a pair of Salk's. I went to visit Jim at his factory a few months ago. Everything that people say about him is absolutely true. He's a very genuine guy. I'm curious what model you've ordered.

@falconquest At first I ordered the WOW1's because I thought I'd do nearfield listening. Then, I decided to move my audio to a bigger room (not that big, 450 sq ft) and changed to the SS6M's. You should know that if you order them, they could take a long time. I surfed the audio circles and people talk of 3-4 and 6-7 month delivery times. And that's in non-virus circumstances. I'll be patient, but you might ask him what to expect. I've decided not to pester about these kinds of things because it just doesn't feel right, right now. [Tsunami rises in background]
