You can always buy used/closeout. The NHT speakers I bought were closeout because they were going to a new model. I got them for 30-50% each speaker and still have the 5 year warranty.
I also found this one website that sells new/refurbished/used speakers and they had free shipping and a 30 day satisfaction guarentee. So, you could buy the used/excellent shape category, get them like 35% off and if they had a single scratch send them back within 30 days for free and it wouldn't cost you a dime to try them out. I was going to do that with the NHT speakers but they stopped carrying them. Obviously if you went used like that though you wouldn't get the warranty. However, so long as you match the impedance and don't overload the speaker (100W speakers on a 200W channel for example), if they don't break in the first 30 days they are probably good for life.
