primus 362??

[ferninando]

opinions please on Primus P362 Infinities at $210/pr
Help me decide on a local CL deal.

PS: these are todays models Infinities

I have a pair of the P360's (same speaker, slightly different cosmetics). I think it's a very fine speaker; has a very smooth, non-fatiguing sound; has good bass extension and weight considering it uses just 2 x 6.5" woofers; is easy to drive; works well with both tube and solid state amps; and sounds great in both HT and 2-channel set-ups. Sadly, mine are in the garage right now (too many speakers, not enough space). $210 for a pair is not a bad price, either.

$210 sounds good. I recently got my neighbor into a pair of 252's. He couldn't be happier. They sound great. He paid a little more than what you're looking at for the next model up.

Ah, finally someone chimed in. Thanks. I know Inf. calls them "step up" and not high end but they were local, like new and less than 1/2 price and Infinities. Trouble is time ran out, add dropped . Maybe they will re-run them.

Watch for weekend sales on frys.com. They used to periodically sell them new for $99 each plus shipping. Last time I checked they were going for $130 each when on sale.

For some reason the shipping cost on 2 speakers is much more than twice the shipping cost for just 1, so you can save money by making 2 separate orders, each of 1 speaker.

Harman (Infinity's parent company) also sells refurbished units with warranty on Ebay.

riker, thanks for the info. they are 300 ea retail from Harmon I found so 219 a pr seems pretty good. and they are near new. The seller relisted them last nite so am gonna check em out and will see if frys has em on sale too

 

[ferninando]

Harmon is now selling 362 refurbs for 244 ea, reg 349 new, so 219 for a pair of near new ones sounds better all the time. Frys is selling them for 299 each, no sales today

Dude, $219 is a little high. Look around the net and you will find cheaper. I got my p362's at Christmas time for $134 each shipped. I got mine from Frys.com but I think they have jacked the price back up. Just look around.

 

[ugornot]

Didn't OP say $210 /pr? Vs $134 ea? Listen to them for damage and it sounds like a good deal. Take a paper towel tube and make sure the tweeters work. My dad (retired military) had no use for tweeters.

 

[ferninando]

$219 for a PAIR!!!

 

[Chimpkin]

Oh Heck Yeah. As long as the haven't been abused, $219 for a gently used pair is a good buy. I didn't notice it was the pair price.

they're new in boxs
