I didn't actually buy anything on Friday, but I consider all the sales around this time to be the same thing. I finally talked myself into buying some speakers for the entertainment system this month, because newegg was putting a lot of Polks on sale again. And so of course I had to keep my eye out for a decent price on a receiver, because I didn't already own one. Amazon had the Yamaha RX-V673 as a daily deal on Thanksgiving day, which seemed like a good buy. So over November I ended up purchasing all this:
$300 - Yamaha RX-V673
2x $150 - Polk Monitor 70
$100 - Polk CS2
$200 - Polk PSW505 sub
Not the lowest prices reported for all those speakers (they dropped the CS2 another $10 just a few days after I bought it lol), but I feel like it's good bang for the buck. I don't have them hooked up yet though...
I'm gonna keep my eye out for a couple more speakers to use as rears for 5.1, but I'm not in a rush.
