VSA speakers heavily discounted
« on: 8 Feb 2015, 07:25 pm »
 :nono: There is a guy at A-gon selling, supposedly , new VSA speaker's with a large discount. You can have choice's of veneer also. Some, according to his ad will have a waiting period.
How can this guy do that and what is he actually selling. I would think they don't come with any warranty, but I'm not sure of this.
Just smells fishy.

All three listings say "Allow 10 to 12 weeks for final delivery" and from most expensive to least are priced at 50%, 56% and 69% of listed retail.

He has 100% positive feedback with 59 transactions for all time and 10 transactions in the last 12 months, but none of the last 10 are for VSA speakers.  Don't know what the scoop is, but I would be a bit wary myself, and it would certainly be interesting if VSA had any comment or information about this vendor.

Hello,

When i was dealer a long time ago for VSA you were not allowed to sell on Audiogon. I am not saying people didn't just that they didn't allow it as a dealer. Might want to careful.

Good Luck.

Refer the seller to VSA. If he isn't legitimate, they can take proper action. If something sounds too good to be true, etc.....
You gain nothing if you but a counterfeit product.

I took a look. All I saw was an 08' Annie. That's the personal pair of dimfer who is a member here and an authorized VSA dealer in Canada. Says he's making room for a VR-55.

I couldn't find any listings with veneer choices etc.

Not sure why you didn't see these three listings by kevin5236, maybe your browser needed to be refreshed?

I alerted VSA to this last night, just to get the scoop on what might be happening. No doubts we'll find out soon.

Apparently these are new-old-stock, VSA approved for discount while supplies last. Dealer is totally legitimate (and may even post here soon to explain)

Hello Fellow Audiophiles,

We had a few old parts in stock to build the 2009 original versions of all the discontinued models this Authorized Dealer is selling.  Note that the listing is for Mk1 and not the new Mk2 models which are sold at the regular List Price by our dealer base.  The Mk2 models have the newer drivers, better crossovers, and Master-Built internal wiring.
Quite a few customers wanting an entry level price do not mind getting the discontinued, original Mk1 version, as they are being sold at slightly over the fabrication cost. The Dealer is making only a few percent of the "blow out" pricing to do us a favor. 

These discontinued models come with a full Five Year Warranty from VSA and the Dealer, Kevin O'Brian, is one of the YFS team.  You can be certain that this offer is genuine, although there are only a couple of pairs of each model available.

At this price, the normal 90-day in home trial does not pertain.  However, if you do your research, no one returns or resells these models. They are as good as the reviews indicate if we are to believe our customer base.

Happy Listening,
AVS

I was just notified that all of the Mk1 speakers have been sold.  We hope that their new owners soon join this Forum, it will be nice to hear from them.

As always,

Happy Listening!
