Would you mind posting the URL? When I click the link above, it redirects me to an eBay search page for some reason. TIA!

Wow, same here. Odd. I updated the post. Here's the link, too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CRYWVG2/

SanDisk Ultra 400GB Micro SDXC

That’s a good price. They were significantly higher when they were 1st released.

I can’t wait for these to keep coming down in price, so I can upgrade from the 256GBs I have now.

A year ago I paid $199 for my 256GB Samsung SDXCs. 2 weeks ago I bought the exact same thing for $70.

It will be nice when the 400GB is below $100, or better yet when 512GB is finally released.

GREAT speakers. GREAT price!
Make sure you got a powerful amp to drive them...

I have bough these - and were going to hook them up to a NAD T748 V2. Is that going to have enough power to drive them properly?

Thanks.

I'm so tempted on those Elacs. I'll probably have to wait until the next time around though. Not in the budget right now.

NAD VISO HP50 (Red or White) "DEMO" at Audio Advisor, $133.33 (http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=1NAVIHP50), Free shipping. Call 1-942-0220. (I do not think that you can order "Clearance Newsletter" items online at Audio Advisor.) I bought a black one for myself a month ago at $139.91; I do not see any black ones in the clearance newsletter; I guess that the black ones are sold out.

Thanks.

Probably, but...
These Elacs are unusual in that they are 4 Ohm Speakers, a pretty low number. The specs say the T748 drives 4 ohm speakers in 2 channel stereo, and on the net you can find users who have great results with the T748 and 4 ohm speakers.
So probably fine.

HOWEVER, the pictures I see of the back of the amp it says "8 Ohm Speakers Minimum" and there is no 5 or 7 channel 4 Ohm spec. Strange.

So, if you are running just 2 of them in stereo then you are probably fine. If you are running 4 to 7 of them you may want to contact NAD support to get their advice.

ELAC UB5
Recommended amplifier power: 40 to 140 wpc
Nominal impedance: 4 Ω;

NAD T748 V2
Output into 4 ohms: 2 x 160W

Technically, the NAD can blow the ELACs, so be careful.

ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 bookshelf speakers on Amazon.com for $349.98 instead of $499.00 (shipped from & sold by Amazon).
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CRYWVG2/

MSRP is $349. Not really a deal. Amazon just has the old MSRP listed, so it looks like a deal.

So they dropped the MSRP on them? That's even better! (But yeah, not a deal, good eye!)

ELAC does list it the same way. It's still a deal, but apparently for all retailers, which is good to know.

Also a good eye!

On the basic page there is no mention of $499, but as you point out, it's there on the buy it page. It's not labeled on the ELAC buy it page, it I'm gonna interpret to mean (previously, $499, now $349. Because if I interpret it this way, my prior post is possibly still right

Also, I wonder if this price drop is a precursor to a "2.0" release.

Are you my wife? She's always right, too!

It appears to just be the new sale price used since last Black Friday. Before, it apparently was ~$400.

I don't usually post the Blinq deals I find, since they are a... controversial seller, but this is the lowest I've seen for this headphone.

Sennheiser HD 660 S for $299 used in 'good' condition:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B076HP574T/

Spend a moment to think about the condition and the seller before purchasing. I can't say I would buy this one personally, but it may be worth the perceived risk for someone else.

I also apologize in advance if this thread becomes people arguing about Blinq for the next two pages.

Gone anyway.

Yep. I emailed ELAC and this is a sale price, not the new MSRP. To me that means the price will either go up, or the product will be discontinued.
