You said the Classe is commonly discounted. How much and where (obviously CA). (My choices are the SSP25 and CAV75.)
Hi Bob,Classe has recently changed the face plate styling of the SSP25 (the internals are the same), so I was able to pick up an older face plate demo unit for a really great price from one local dealer (S.F. Stereo). I won't divulge the price out of courtesy to their kindness in pricing :-), but I'd like to point out that sometimes I have received only a small discount on new items, for example, my Sonus Fabers from another local dealer.
You can sometimes find demo or used Classe equipment at Audiogon or JS Audio on the internet (and there are others), but please try to support your local dealer if you use their services. Some folks here seem to pick up outrageous bargains, maybe you might ask them how they shop. Actually that would be a fun thread on its own.
I'm not really comfortable bargaining and don't care about the very last cent. If you find it awkward to bargain like me, perhaps try "I'm really interested in purchasing this item from you, please tell me your best price." The dealer may or may not go down in price, but you'd be suprised what might happen if you appear to be seriously interested.
Good luck, and tell us about your purchases!
Yours,--andy
