I still think the speaker is expensive. We can assume that a part of the cost is for shipping, but the rest is still expensive for a speaker, especially when you think of brand such as Ham Mountain Radio. In addition,it is not unfrequent to find companies which afford shipping cost when you order over a concrete amount money. That could attract people to order speakers overseas, just an idea.
Most of my speakers have been bought in USA, and I am really happy with them, as I said before, the relation quality and price is really fair. And , if in the future , if I had to purchase other speaker I would , quite probably, choose one of these brand , called it brand loyalty. Anyway, I do not doubt the quality of your speaker is good. I have not tried it. I hope you understand this. At last , what we are doing here is discussing prices , comparing brands and tell our experience. That is all.
