Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
These SD promoted deals are getting ridiculous. Literally every single day we see the same SD editor posting the same brand of products from the same SD advertiser. And to make it worse, they get preferential treatment and make FP way before deals with much higher voting. See screenshot for sample of these posts.

With the same observation, one can argue that you hate on most if not all of my threads, which is fine... Reality is, almost no one else ever has deals on klipsch and ones that do have 'sales' those are generally overpriced...
Votes is only one measure of many we use to evaluate deals. Sadly, you're here for the wrong reason. as we both know you're not interested in this brand or speakers.
With that said, if this is a bad deal and can be had for less elsewhere, please point it out... or something similar from Klipsch for less, point that out as well.
If not klipsch brand, fine, are there other deals available with 7.1 setup for below $1k delivered (including atmos?)
These days, when shipping costs are up + built cost and freight is also up, seeing these are same or lower prices is fairly rare... since most freight and ship prices are up 20-50%

Yeah they also always have the minimal amount of upvotes when they hit the FP. But whatever I think most people realized Slickdeals hasn't been about exclusively community upvoted deals for a long time. Iconians probably got a family to feed!
The frequency of these Klipsch deals is actually great for me because keeps me from buying now for my future home theater when I know they go on sale pretty often.

Lol, same. If these get FP every day there is no reason to purchase, unless you were following adorama and the price was crazy low. This does not seem crazy low and no comparison was made
I have this setup with 2 of the 12SW's and it sounds great to me. Pretty much shakes the house during movie time. I am not an audio snob but if i was why would I use SD to find my snobby audiophile setup? Let it go peeps and let normal non snobs enjoy a good deal.
Klipsch are overpriced Except when on deep discount. Same goes for Jamo and others.
The sad thing is these get posted all the time, as if because they're on discount that it's something special.
I'm no audio snob, I run 10yr old Paradigm monitor series (mid level) in my room and they suit me fine. Nothing bad about klipsch, just nothing that justifies a price higher than the sale prices when compared to 10 other manufacturers selling at these prices everyday .
Hmmm "overpriced" so where can we get this 5.1.2 package for less?
While your at it how about another 5.1.2 package for the same price?
We won't even mention the Jamo 5.0 package for $380/5.1 $530
As you can tell just in here, people pointed out a few advantages of these deals popping up regularly.

my post is the most up-voted in this thread by far. so clearly the community in general agrees with the statements posted.
i would disagree with some of your statements. being an SD Editor you post many things, so the overall percent of my posts where i vote/respond negatively is extremely small. however, since you are now posting these daily, that situation will arise more frequently.
it has been noted in all of these klipsch/adorama threads by MANY MEMBERS that they are now nothing more than constant advertisements. the percentage of speakers posts on SD is probably 99% klipsch/adorama and 1% other brands/vendors. put these advertisements in a separate category of SPONSORED posts instead of trying to pass them off as random deals. the tiny disclaimer (which is by default in each thread), is literally a light smaller, font and is intentionally difficult to read and not posted prominently.
it is great that you ask me to point out other vendors selling these at lower prices when you know that any posts with other affiliate links will be blocked by SD as you don't allow them. i refrain from making specific recommendations so as not to upset the klipsch fanboys in these threads.
typically the klipsch/adorama threads make FP with 20 (Or fewer votes) are are only available from one vendor. I have seen other speaker threads for other brands available from several vendors with 50+ votes that didn't make FP page. so there is significant bias to steering members to your affiliates. it is beyond obvious and not pleasantly palatable.
and i have heard klipsch that i don't mind, they are not my favorites (Still colored sound), but the ones here are low end entry level line are very harsh and bright. geared towards buyers that want loud, but not an accurate speaker by any means.

Yeah, think I'll get this 1 now.

You are missing the point. These speakers are worth the sale price, no more. They are fine, not bad but nothing special.
There are just a ton of fanboys for klipsch here. That's cool but very misleading for those who are new to audio video
