    here you go.

     I think for some products, mostly when they are about to be replaced you can get a discount. I bought in the US a pair of BL3 and BL2 and got few % off when I asked if they would make me a package deal, initially I had only looked at the BL3.


    Good luck.

    Try 2 or 3 dealers in your locality (Dealer section on the main site), and see who comes up with the best discount.  Once you have the best discount, call the other 2 dealers and see if they want to beat it.

    After that, make your choice depending on who can offer the best deal.  Remeber they have to make a profit, as well as you wanting a good deal. Meet in the middle and if both parties are happy, then it's happy days!

    Also remember it's not just all about the price. If you can build a good relationship with a good dealer (and get a good price) then the future should be set for later purchases/support etc. So find someone you can really get on with and build from there.

    Re: Is is possible to haggle discounts?

    over here, most dealers give you some % if you ask for, especially if you pay before delivery or if you buy some of the more expensive products. But tobeyone is right when saying that the passion for B&O lasts for all of your life, so it is important to find a dealer you get along very good, so the price is not the most important thing to ask for.

    Fully agree, pricing is not all (but for sure important). If you go with products which may need some service or updates from time to time (like a Beosystem 3 in a BV7, 9 or BV4) you need a supportive dealer! Or when it comes down to link B&O products, attach 3rd party ones you may need a helping hand as well.
