Best Buy Will Stock Onkyo Now!!

[edubb5]

JUST GOT NEWS THAT BEST BUY WILL STOCK ONKYO NOW in Magnolia Home Theater!! since Circuit city has went under

[Blu-Benny]

if they carry a model i want and i can save on some shipping time and the price is good, they may be getting some business from me in the future.

I've also seen it posted that they will be (possibly) carrying Control 4, Audioquest, Monitor Audio, and Sonus Faber. I don't know if any of that is verified or not yet though.

Monitor Audio goes to Best Buy I will sell mine and never buy another MA product again.

If it happens it will only be through Magnolia Home Theater.

Magnolia Home Theater use to sell Audioquest but had stopped carrying because supposedly Audioquest couldn't keep up with the demand. I bought some Audioquest cables from Magnolia HT about 3-4 years ago.

That's the spirit.

As noted above, this will only apply to the Magnolia stores.

I don't know where this news originated, but they're also posting the same thing over on AVS forum.



EDIT: I just found this.

Unless you've had dealings with Best Buys parent company Future Shop in Canada there's no way you could possibly understand.

EDIT> Looks like Best Buy is the parent co not FS, same crap different pile though. It's still the same company that spends its time overcharging us and providing a non stop flow of bad service.

I'm not arguing that the service is good or bad, but in your previous post you make it sound like your Monitor Audio speakers will no longer sound good once they're available at BB.

I am very confused on why you will not want your speakers JUST because a certain seller sells them. This clearly makes no sense? Will they sound worse once Magnolia sells them?

I'm not surprised it sounds like most people on this site can now make a 1 stop shop and pick up there Polk speakers and Onkyo receiver, i think the head buyer from BB has been monitoring this site

[SkullPhyre]

So I should dump my 875 since BB will start selling Onks now. righttttt

No, i think Onkyo will start to make a special line of AVR for BB and still have their higher end stuff at other dealers.

Part of the pride in owning a Monitor Audio product is not owning a big box store product. You can think me as foolish as you want but my overall experiences with this company have left a bad taste..

What's next... Zu Audio at K-Mart?

I guess I just don't get the philosophy that a product is more or less desirable based on where it's sold/not sold. Just my opinion though.

They also sold Kuro plasmas, one of the most sought after TVs ever made. Noone seemed to have a problem with BB carrying those. Why is it such an unpopular idea for people to be able to buy nice audio components as well as nice video components all at one place?
