I still get staff pricing at the shop I used to work at, so would cost me a decent chunk less than that...but still not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put it on and hmmm not what I was expecting.Sounded tinny and very little bass, very disappointed. Im not paying 5k for that very over priced make it 2.5k and maybe.NEXT........

Look into Focal Chorus 700 series 5.1 setup or the equivalent Bowers & Wilkins setup. You won't regret it, and it'll last you bloody years!
