Best GK / GB pricing online (or through stores)

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking at snagging a Streamliner 600 or 900 and right now Ye Olde Music Shop is killin' it with $750 for the 900 and $650 for the 600. I won't even try to price match that because I prefer to support smaller shops. Really, really tempting me but I'm holding off until I sell a little more gear.

I'm also considering snagging a GK MB112 combo or a MB200 and assembling a 110 [with tweeter?] as seen here. The latter is inevitably more expensive but more fun in the process.

NStuffMusic is offering the MB112 at $280 shipped, visible if you add it to the cart. Price matching with the bigger boys only puts it to $278 with their 10% of the difference deal. I wouldn't mind cheaper.

Suggestions?

I call MF and ask them to beat GC's price and they usually do.... plus free shipping and maybe sales tax free.

Yeah, but GC/MF offer it for $300 each. One beating the other's $278 would be (with an extra 10% of the now $22 difference taken out) $275.80. I can only bounce it around so long knocking off a dollar or two at a time.

Cool! Sent in for a quote. Here's to hoping it's super low.

They don't have the MB112 listed.

Thanks for the link to NStuff Christw. Best deal I've seen on the mb112. Mcaudio quoted me $305. I probably could have had them or one of the others pricematch but nstuff has it in stock for a great price so I pulled the trigger.

+1 on www.rmcaudiodirect.com they sometimes have an online coupon code you can plug in and get some nice discounts.

I also got the $305 quote. After I noted my disappointment and provided the link to NStuff, RMC offered me $270 shipped. I'm guessing you can't take 10% off of that lowest quote. With MF's price match it would be $267 but I'm not going to nickel and dime back and forth.

I'm still temped to build a 110 and buy an MB200. Can't make my mind up! Argh!

Edit: the coupons RMC have publicly are found here: https://www.rmcaudiodirect.com/Articles.asp?ID=150

Hmmm... $224.10 for an MB200. I'm gonna wait til the end of the weekend to see if they'll quote me any lower than the coupon price. I'm so cheap.

Thats exactly what I did as well 2 weeks ago. I dont buy GK anywhere else (also bought a new 400RB and 150MBE112 combo years ago when it was Rik's Music)

I HAVE PURCHASED A NEO 410, (2) NEO 112'S AND A 700 RB-II FROM RMC. THEY HAVE PRETTY GOOD PRICING. I JUST GOT A MB FUSION FROM TB AND IT WAS A VERY SMOOTH DEAL. THERE ARE SOME GOOD BUYS ON THIS SITE IF YOU HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

Music123 wouldn't match the NStuff quote, saying they are not an authorized dealer.
