Be kind of cool to have it all in one like that, but it does seem over priced, unless it does really add all that much to the spa having it built in like that? Other than for convenience reasons I mean. Like does the water vibrate more etc from the built in sub? :)

I'm sure there are plenty of music options for a separate system if you go that route.  The EQ you will use is quite different while you're in the tub vs out of the tub.  I don't think bass frequencies travel through water as well as they do air.  So we tend to kick up the bass while we're in the tub.  And with all the jets running, it gets a little noisy.  So having the builtin speakers lets you cut through that noise, or you can choose a position that has a speaker right next to it if you want to keep it a little quieter. 

It did seem a little expensive at the time, and perhaps I'm rationalizing my own decision.

Thanks guys for the replies.  :D

I'm actually thinking of maybe going with a Cadera Cantabria instead of the Grandee NXT. As a different local vendor offered a brand new one to me with basically all the same stuff as the Grandee, but for a little under 15k.

These prices still seem a bit higher than some of the prices I've seen others pay for theirs. By at least a good 1 to 3 grand or so. I realize there's more to it than that. It's just the thought of paying so much more than someone else though.  :-[

If you can get into a Cantabria for under $15k, your getting a good price. 

I know that you want the best price and a fair deal, just remember that what one person pays should never be the expected price.  I have seen a lot of crazy low prices on here and I wouldn’t even consider many of them legit.  There are many factors that determine pricing.  I do think that you can improve that Grandee NXT price but to expect $1-$3k off, especially $3k should not happen.

The dealership I work for has what I feel are very competitive pricing but if our inground pool business wasn’t as successful as it is, we would have to sell at higher prices.
