134.0. "I want a bargain HiFi..." by LESLIE::LESLIE (Cassandra) Mon Dec 18 1989 16:47

    Having just returned from the USA, where electronics and HiFi stores
    asre selling stuff at up to 70% off, I'm wondering if such bargains
    exist in the southern UK at the moment.
    
    Anyone seen any (worthwhile) bargains in the shops?

134.1Try Comet or Richer...if you must 8^)BAHTAT::SALLITTDave @RKG, 831-3117Tue Dec 19 1989 10:2716
    Richer Sounds (various branches) sell end-of-line hifi from various
    Oriental sources at knock-down prices. Also Comet carry "wharehouse
    special" lines from well-known manufacturers.
    
    Whether or not these constitute bargains is arguable; it depends what
    you're looking for. Personally I wouldn't give "hifi" they sell house 
    space, but then I'm wierd like that......
    
    If you want something with real hifi cred, and maybe good sound, a lot of 
    specialist dealers will have sales on in the New Year, to clear 
    ex-Christmas and ex-dem stock. It won't be as cheap as the Comet/Richer 
    approach, but could be a better bargain, if you follow me.
    
    I doubt you'll replicate the US scene, whatever you do.
