Funny thing:
I had my eye on these speakers a couple of months ago. I was really after a set of cheap 5.1s (cheap = non-digital) that sound decent. But not too expensive, and not too good -- when I want to listen to something with optimal fidelity, well, hell, that's where my receiver/components/seperates home audio/theater setup comes in! I am aware, however, that not everyone sees it this way.
But I digress: for one with selectively picky tastes, I find the Logitech z640s to be a great deal.
The funny thing? I saw these at buy.com (and newegg) for approx. $70 right when they came out -- but OOS (at buy.com, at least).
I walk into Best Buy, start chatting up the floor manager in the computer acces. section (who was conveniently the one manning the floor then), and basically ask him to pricematch buy.com. Now, he and I both know that BB doesn't PM online stores . . . but he's a salesman and knows I can wait to go home and order it (and save $30) . . . so we cut a deal at $80. I'm out the door, he/they still make a few bucks.
