Discount Stores, i.e. newaudiovideo.com


I am planning to buy some KEF speakers and see that they are heavily discounted on newaudiovideo.com, while they are exactly the same price in most other stores.

Does anyone have experience with that store or other discount stores? It almost sounds too good to be true...

How does the old saying go?

Have you heard the story about the two Purepower companies, the one in Canada and the other in Taiwan?

Have you heard that the "###" TV that you buy at Wal-Mart isn't the same "###" TV that you buy at Best Buy?

Have you heard that if you buy a "###' faucet from Lowes or Home Depot, it's not the same "###' faucet that you buy at a plumping supply store?

I'm not suggesting that you should buy from these guys, but I would venture to say that you probably won't receive a fake or knockoff product if you did.

GP Acoustics, the HK-based company that owns KEF, manufactures loads of consumer electronics and other products for the Best Buys of the world. The reality is, loads of manufactured products get dumped into the secondary (grey) market for reasons that have nothing to do with product quality. Stores close, merge or can't pay their bills. Maybe some distributor took a boatload of product in order to get a higher discount on certain items and dumped the rest. Maybe there are factory seconds; generally cosmetic blems.

If you pay via CC or PayPal you will almost certainly not be harmed financially in the off chance that you don't receive what you think you ordered.
