Not sure how you go about getting these items. I think they're "in store only", but you could probably call your store and have the store that has it ship to your store. I saw the boxed pair of JBL's at my local store for $399. Also, not sure if this stuff is still available anywhere at these prices since it's first come first serve I think. Anyway, here ya go...
108721572 UA PCIOUL UAD-2 OCTO ULTIMATE PCIE DSP ACCELERATOR PKG $5499.99 $1999.97 $3500.02 63%
103552667 JBL LSR4328P/PAK(PR) STU RMC MON W/ROOM ACCY KIT $1539.99 $399.97 $1140.02 74%
102087160 MANLEY MSLCHP STEREO VARIABLE MU LIMITER COMPRESSOR ALL TUBE CST XFM $3960.00 $2499.97 $1460.03 36%
106699093 RADIAL ENG POWERPRE 500 SERIES MODULE R7000110 $499.99 $199.97 $300.02 60%
Good luck.

Hmm. I'm certainly going to go buy another pair of LSR4328 at that price. That's insane.
EDIT: Wait. you have to search by your local store. Not all the deals are at all stores.

I think they're in store only. Call your local store and see if they can get you the deal. Where are you located?

When you are on that deal page, you can choose by store, which shows different amounts of items/stock depending on which you choose. I think this stuff is on a per store basis. You could probably get one store to get it from another if you asked.
I'm in Atlanta.

You could probably get one store to get it from another if you asked. I'm in Atlanta. My GC rep forwarded this email to me... Dear GC Associates, I wanted to take a moment to remind you about our January Clearance Event, where it's that time of the year when we move a ton of gear from last year to make room for the new stuff. All clearance deals are first come, first served, and some are one of a kind, so please let your customers know to get in early to check out the deals. Also, don't forget you can access items from over 250 store locations as well as our online inventory—so whatever your customers are looking for, there's a good chance you can get it for them. To see some of the best deals you can offer your customers, click here. This is an incredible time for your customers to get a great deal on the gear they need. Thanks, Marketing Team Guitar Center |

I've actually been fairly intrigued by the Fostex 3way monitors. Not that I need another set of monitors, but for 250$ shipped.. I might just try them out.

It took all my will power not to walk out with the JBL's.

I already have a pair of JBL LSR4328p. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair at that price, especially if new and came with the room calibration kit and remote.

Found 2 pair of the JBL4328's at a local G.C. Clearance sale. (Southern California)
Both pair needed the woofers reconed. Had been demos since 2006.
For 399.00 and the added time and money, I walked out.

A pair of Adam P11A's in my area for 399/ea. Wonder if they're worth it.

The JBL's at my local store were beat up...they actually had 2 pair for that price but $399 still not a deal on junk. But I did pick up the Apogee Symphony for a steal from clearance and the manager didnt want me to have the floor model so he shipped me a new one. Been incredibly lucky lately with gear...thank you my pro audio angel!

I want all your "Stupid things you've heard at Guitar Center" stories from these encounters, please! Oh I have plenty of GC stories, not necessarily related to this sale. All of the normal places I would buy high end gear were out of the royer R121.. Surprisingly, the only place in my area with one in stock was GC.. I usually get mobbed by salesfolk when I walk into the pro audio section, but this time there was nobody but one lone dude. He barely looked up from what he was doing and kinda grunted "let me know if I can help you". I walked around a few minutes and found the mic on the top shelf of their glass mic case. Dude saw me looking at the case and walked over. He said "You need something?" I said, "yeah I need a mic from this case". He leaned over and started pointing at the bottom shelf, the 99$ mics.. and said "which one do you want?" I pointed to the Royer. He was in disbelief. He just stood there for a second, obviously contemplating whether I was fucking with him or not. He was like: "Uh, I think this is the first one we've sold here." After that, he was really nice and helpful. Funny how a commission can change attitudes. |

I put in the zip for the store here...literally 4 items. Maybe the site search isn't accurate-can't believe they'd be having a clearance event of four odd little items...it was just like a cable and some Mac RAM or something.
That said, somewhere in the list (without filtering for the Nashville store) there was a 15" MBPro 2.4 Quad core for $699. That seems like an f'n deal. Pop a SSD in it...then my little "keyboard" laptop (now an Air) would be as fast as my desktop PC. I could get closer to the "invisible studio" of my dreams!!

Like or hate the staff, or just laugh at their lack of training/expertise/knowledge, but you have to hand it to Guitar Center Inc. They are one well-run business. Musicians' Friend is also a core part of their business and another very smart move.

Every time I head to GC to grab something that I need, they're out. Even last time I was there, I wanted to grab a set of pics, sold out of the ones I use. Unreal. They do have good deals on used gear sometimes.
Musician's friend is awesome though. I've gotten some killer deals on new gear through them, as much as 25% off.

I was in the main GC in my area and was in the "pro" room where they sometimes have honest studio gear. That day I was just looking around but noticed a rack with a REVG 1176 and a later LA2A. The guy walks in (he's been helicoptering around me for some time, not sure if he was watching to make sure I didn't break anything, or watching to see if I was buying..) and he leans against the rack next to me as I gasp at the pricetag of both of those boxes (used gear but almost new prices..). I look up and he goes "wouldn't we all love to have one of those??" I reply that I have 4x 1176 and 1x LA2A at my studio.
He walks away.
LOL.

They are "sold out" on a lot of gear because they keep low stock in the stores so that people are more inclined to buy things with higher margins. They know you probably needed the thing you came for, so you feel that in order to not waste your time, you'll buy the next best thing. They don't tell you that the "next best thing" has 100+ in stock while the doodaad you wanted had only 3 per store, but was on the front page of the sales flier.. Bait and switch.. "We're sold out of those, but lemme tell you about this other thing.." |

Musicians' Friend is also a core part of their business and another very smart move. Nothing like being up to debt so bad you get bought by Bain Capital... I was surprised JK bought the Burl there...He must have a serious inside hook up. I was surprised they stocked it...that's how long it's been since I've been in there, I guess. |
