I’ve solidified my design finally and will do in wall 8” Klipsch speakers. My question is about the price on these. On the OEM website the 5800 II sells for around $375 each. On many websites such as hifidiscounts the prices are much less, as low as $200. Klipsch websites lists the hifi website and many other sites and vendors as unofficial /unauthorized and Klipsch won’t provide the OEM warranty if purchased through anyone but them and authorized sellers.
Now assuming the warranty is only a year, I could care less about that. Klipsch seems to use the scare tactics as these products can be counterfeit and have fake serial numbers.
Is it ok to purchase from one of these vendors and get a legit product? I just purchased the 12” 400 watt Klipsch sub on sale at Costco. Trying to get the in wall speakers at a better price than MSRP
