Bose or klipsch setup? noob here. (1 Viewer)

[Jeremy Little]

Tell them to ring it up with a HTR-5750 in place of the receiver, it will package out just the same. The package is either a Sony or Yamaha, just like the Klipsch packages allow. If I have any say in the matter, I never let my customers buy a STRDE Sony if there is a Yamaha to be had at the same price point.

Hey Jeremy,

I tried everything with those guys. They rang out the package and it wouldn't take. I tried to talk with the manager and he wouldn't match the price for me. They actually kind of pissed me off. I guess that's corporate america for you.

Pete,

I don't know much about Velodyne's entry-mid level subs. I have heard that their HGS subs are quite nice, but so is the price. How much are you looking to spend on a sub?

Well, the employees you are dealing with are *not* trying hard enough at all, it will work. I think it is amazing that some BB employees make you work so hard to give them your money. I'm sorry I can't help more from where I'm at, do you have another BB nearby?

The next BB is 2 hours away. I noticed when the guy rang out the system he only rang out a quantity of one on the fronts and the rears. Do you work at BB?

A sub's performance will be based greatly on placement and room acoustics though.

Yes, I do work for Best Buy. If there is ANYTHING left out at all, it will not package price when the total button is hit. The package consists of 2 fronts and 2 rears, so there must be a pair of each rang up as well as the center, sub, and receiver.

If it were me, I would do the Klipsch setup.

There is a LOT of room to upgrade into the Klipsch family of speakers if you ever outgrow your new system.

That's kinda what I did. I ugraded piece by piece until I had a complete reference 7 system. You can mix and match the lower model lines of the Klipsch with some of the higher stuff and it will still sound reasonable.

I ordered my Polk system today at crutchfield. I emailed BB in regards to them not letting me change receivers for that package and this is how they responded:

"Pete,

Thank you for contacting Best Buy about products and promotions. I'm
Sonia with Customer Care.

We understand your disappointment about the store manager not allowing you to upgrade the receiver in the home theater package that you want. When the manufacturers offer a special price on a package, we are
unable to substitute the components of the package and honor the package price. We appreciate your comments, and we will relay this information to the manufacturer so they may improve future offerings.

Thank you for sharing your comments with Best Buy. Please don't hesitate to contact us with additional questions or concerns."

Sounds like the same old corporate scripted answer to me. Thanks BB.

You can substitute anything here at Best Buy and pay the difference. I wouldn't expect it to be different anywhere else.
