    Default New Speakers

    Hey guys I am looking into investing in my first 5.1 sound system.
    I have R750 to spend, and am looking at probably going to Incredible Connection as R200 of that money is IC vouchers. They also need to be wall mountable. It also needs to be new.
    I am eyeing out the Logitech X530's as I know they are wall mountable and it looks like Wall E which is going to work on my gf's nerves lol.
    Any other suggestions or anything I should know about, if push really comes to shove I may be able to swap the R200 vouchers for cash bringing it all cash.

    I bought logitech X540. i found the value better than x530s and i never looked back. The price wasn't that different either.

    So looks like I made a good decision
    Incredible didn't work out as they were wanting R1299 which a complete rip off. Ended up going somewhere else and was pleasantly surprised to find them for R749. R550 price dif was too huge to ignore.

    Incredible is weird with their pricing. Some things are reasonably priced, but some things are ridiculous. The other day I wanted to get a Flash Stick, but I didn't want to order from Rectron for just one little flash stick (about R75 incl VAT for an 8GB one), so I stopped off at Incredible, and I think theirs were something like R170 for a 4GB one... I also remember at one stage looking for a network cable, and it was a couple hundred bucks, when I can sommer make my own one for maybe R20. I think their markup on accessories and stuff is super high.

    Yeah laptops, hdd's, cameras and monitors are generally more or less well priced. Other things I would far rather go anywhere else.

    its some times old stock that was never sold and still reflects the price that it was booked into the store a few years back

    Its like my clan mate bought a 6870 asus GPU from them for R1999 and te 5770 was R1700

    now the 6870 is basically 2 x 5770`s

    so the 5770 is a rip of but the 6870 had a price that you will struggle to find now any where else .
    if you buy from IC wait for the gaminginc specials to start again,
