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.]

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]

Oh I'm well aware that they can take months. A friend of mine is about to get his after many months wait. I will likely look at used however since I am not in a hurry.

When you order, and deposit is taken, is it disclosed [up front] that it could take 4-7 months before your speakers arrive?

He wasn't specific but he indicated a time frame for my first ordered set and was very good about updating me when I asked again. Super nice guy, straight shooter. I don't feel surprised, overall. I knew it would take a while. I'm fine with it.
