I looked around the webs and I haven’t found any helpful reviews of these guys, so I’d like to throw in my 2 cents.
In general, their prices are great. You need to keep in mind that you’re getting (essentially) grey market goods without the manufacturer’s warranty. If the term “grey market” scares you, you should be aware that you’ve probably already got grey market goods in your house but do not realize it. Sam’s Club, Costco, Amazon all sell grey market items. I would also point out that if you’re going to buy speakers from them, a warranty is pretty damned worthless anyhow as speakers are just a large electromagnet and have no moving parts. Just inspect the items when you get them to make sure there isn’t any shipping damage.
So in the way of a review:
- Great prices
- Shipping prices are absurd – $80 for UPS ground for two small pairs of speakers. A similar item on Amazon cost $35 for UPS ground shipping. They’re clearly underpricing their advertised price and inflating shipping charges which is dishonest.
- Website shopping interface sucks. Placed an order 2 days ago, still haven’t received a confirmation of the order.
- Prior orders with them, however, have gone smoothly. I ordered some Sonance 622’s for my living room and they arrived well packed and in great condition and they sound super.
Overall OK, but watch out for the shipping charges. Might make sense to look around because the total price might make things less expensive elsewhere – for instance the pair of Sonance 623’s I ordered cost just as much as a pair of Definitive Technology in-ceiling speakers from onecall.com or another reputable online dealer.
