Best "Open Box" Value

Hey guys,

What is the best "open box" value that you have ever purchased? A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a set of Klipsch Quintet II speakers (the entire system) for $193 at Sears. They had been on clearance AND open box. I thought that was a good deal. What have you guys been able to come by?

I bought a RCA RT2600 for under $190, I know a lot of you guys are going to say RCA sucks. But 650 watts, DD, Dolby Pro-Logic 1 and 2, and DTS, two optical inputs, one coax. Six inputs plus radio.
Have had it for eight months now, haven't had any problems at all and it sounds great.

I got these for $200 ea. from Sound Advice in North Miami Beach, a buddy hooked them up, he works for the Sound Advice in Tampa. Also bought the Center Channel for $100....

Pioneer Elite TZ-700

Too bad I ended up moving into a small townhouse with marble floors and they were way way too powerful....sold them on eBay a few years later for $1200.

Beat that Brian and Best Buy supervisor jerk off!!!! J/K
