on their drivers, & acoustic-visions does "not" charge shipping on Adire drivers???
And yes, they are sold for $150.00 at both sites.


EDIT: added the word "not"....lol

Think about it, it's really not that complicated......

There's a retail price and shipping is added to that price. Pretty standard business practice, don't ya think?

[Joe Mihok]

I purchased from creativesounds.ca and shipping was included with the retail price. I was quite happy because I expected to pay shipping on top of the retail price. I paid $200 CND total and was thrilled with the price/performance from the Tempest. I think down the road I'm gonna buy another Tempest and make a Dual enclosure similar to SVS's PB2+ just because I want some overkill .

No...Adire & Acoustic-Visions BOTH sell the Tempest
for $150.00!!


Adire charges ADDITIONAL shipping on top of the $150.00.

Acoustic-Vision sells & ships for $150.00...FREE SHIPPING


AND....I have emailed Adire TWICE about an order & have YET to get a reply!!!

[minhG]

because kyle at acoustic-visions want's you to buy from him, duh! and honestly, adire does not want to undercut their dealer network.

kyle sometimes has it drop-shipped directly from adire too. this was a no brainer for me, i bought it from acoustic-visions!

First get a grip, or a life ......

Then pick up the phone and call 425-778-WOOF (425-778-9663) or use their online sales system. If you want immediate gratification and are interested in saving the shipping costs, buy from Kyle.

Note that retail sales to Joe 6 pack isn't Adire's primary source of income, that's why they have a dealer network.

You decide not to use the dealer network that Adire has setup then you pay more. The network is there so that Adire has more time for things other than retail sales. Time = money. Sounds pretty simple to me.

[MattD]

Huh?

Spoiler:

Adire makes money either way, they don't care if you buy it from them or their dealers.

I dont know about you, but I just am accoustomed to receiving "at least" a confirmation email when I place an order on the net, & I "still" have not received one, although they did finally reply to my 1st email.

How long are you used to waiting for replies from companies.
I received 3 email responses from the people with Rocket
speakers, answering various questions, before I received one from Adire.

Kyle is out of the Tempest until mid June....as is Adire.
Just got off the phone with Chris at Adire & had
everything taken care of quite well!

AV123 has no dealer network and is an internet only based company. Due to this the company itself has a number of people who mostly do sales and answer e-mails.

Adire has a dealer network and does most of their work away from internet in the audio industry. Due to this they don't have as many people who do sales and answer e-mails, but have over 100 dealers who will help you.

Two completely different company setups. You can not expect the same results be dealing with the company directly.
