We've hit sale capacity. They don't mean that much anymore. You're more likely to find something on 20-percent-off sale than full-retail, because every retailer functions like a going out of business furniture store now.

Tech is the one place you don't see that. Products are released throughout the year, peaking before the holidays, and they don't go on sale until year two. From TVs to wireless surround systems, everything holds value pretty well.

But we've got a surprise, a real rarity in the tech world. One of our favorite wireless surround sound systems, the JBL Bar 9.1, is on $430 off retail. This isn't a fake sale to trick you into buying. This is a big sale. If you've been looking for a soundbar, surround sound system, or new luxury TV setup, there will never be a better time to buy.

JBL is a great standard in audio equipment. For the money, there's not really a better professional and home audio brand around. This system showcases that. The soundbar has nine speakers built in—six drivers for all-around sound, three tweeters for the high range. Each of the two detachable surround speakers contains another driver and another tweeter. The 10-inch subwoofer is there to give you lows that make you feel what you're watching.

What does all that mean, though? Why do you need or want all these different speakers? Well, let's start with a subwoofer, the most obvious. When placed at the very back of your living area, a subwoofer is the engine that drives your viewing experience. When there's action scenes or a deep, powerful score, you feel it—like in the movie theater. The drivers, of which there are eight total, do most the sonic heavy lifting. Most dialogue and sound is in the frequency range of these mid-range speakers, so you need a handful of them to give you clear, consistent sound. Then, the tweeters handle the highest pitch sounds—trebles in music, front-of-the-mouth sounds in dialogue. All together, this system gives you the clearest dialogue and richest sound of any surround system on the market.

Other than that, the design of this system makes it an incredible buy. The two detachable speakers have internal, rechargeable batteries. That means you can move them around in your space. If you have two viewers, they can be on the two side tables. If you have a room-full, you can place them in the far corners. Everyone always gets the best sound. And when you're not watching on the TV, you can connect to the system via Bluetooth, AirPlay, or Chromecast to stream music.

If you care about the Oscar-worthy movies and appointment-viewing television, you should care about the sound. The picture and plot are only 2/3 of the equation. You should hear and feel everything the directors and producers intended. Normally you'd have to pay out the ass for that. But if you jump on this sale, you can get it at an insane price.
