Here's some background for setting the scene: I have a couple friends- married for a ton of years, love toys for the house. They have a sound system that my audiophile B/F sort of cringes at, since they are occasionally trying to do things with it that offend his perfectionism. (He uses the computer to decide where to place speakers). I have no idea to what degree they research their purchases, but at least are very happy with them.

Here's where the betting comes in. So I guess this last weekend they bought a spa. The b/f was talking to them:
"Well hey, congrats! What brand did you get?"

"Brand? Of, I dont remember, but it has a pop-up flat screen TV, sound system, and the guy was willing to give us this GREAT deal, so we had to move fast. It was supposed to be $15,000, but we got it for $8000!"

My boyfriend at this point swallows hard and takes a deep breath. He knows how I feel about TVs on spas.

"Wow- well, that sounds like a great spa. Did you know that Anne recently bought one?"

"No! What did she get?"

"An Arctic." He does not expect them to respond with much.

"Really? I heard those were REALLY good....."

�

So I have NO idea what, if any, reasearch they did, and I still dont know what they bought. Anyone care to hazard a guess? I'll work on getting the real answer. I can guarantee you they were not willing to wet test.

I'll see your Di-chlor and raise you 1 tri chlor "hockey puck".

My first guess is MasterSpa. �Runner up is: Southwest Spas.

I'll go with Phoenix.

Hmmm. On second thought. $8k and has a tv? I doubt Thermospa would sell one that cheap.

Gotta be an off brand.

That seems to be the consensus thus far.

I�m going to guess that it�s a Catalina TV spa.

Do any of the "Big 5" offer a TV?

I'm going with MASTER.

In a tent.

On the side of the road.

A-la Term's crocidile adventure.

HotSpring, Tiger River, Solana, and HotSpot do not. I'm not sure about the other company.

Yes, if you buy one of their top end spas they'll throw in a free 13" black and white TV at no additional charge.

I'm just glad to see that they got nearly 1/2 off the spa...Whew...

Who's that? I asssume it's a pop up Tv?

I'll take a WAG and say Gulf Coast. Not sure if they even offer TV's in their spas, but they are good at the half price thing.

Soft tub?

Some of your guesses are not in Anne's (my) market.
