Receivers are much more expensive in Canada than they are in the US. For h/k receivers, look at ecost.com in particular. I'm glad I did. |

New member Username: AlaingPost Number: 5 Registered: Oct-04 | Ok I went to see your thread and see that you've had quite an experience. I will look into your borderfree company and at the ecost.com too as soon as I can and let you know what I think. Merci pour ton avis |

It gets you a Canadian price with shipping, applicable duties and GST (TPS) included. No surprises. If you are close to Rimouski, you can audition my h/k receiver and Hsu sub. |

Silver Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 119 Registered: Feb-04 | Marie-France, I'm taking the day off on Friday to take my h/k and another amplifier (and maybe the sub) to a friend's house for some testing in Quebec City. But it's only a day trip and I'll be back by late night Friday. So everything should be plugged back-in on Saturday. I'm in the phone book in Rimouski; the only Galbraith, so I'm easy to find. Hopefully we could arrange a demo around your volleyball and the various weekend stuff I have to do (like driving my oldest to Gym class Saturday noon). Could be fun! I always enjoy sound system demos anyway. :-) So give me a call! |

monkey man jack Unregistered guest | Greetings, its just my opinion, but go with JBL subwoofers. They have a really nice 350 watt 15 inch subwoofer. |
|
monkey man jack Unregistered guest | Or, go with the PSB sub sonic 7. It sounds really nice. (also a 15 inch). |

edster922 Unregistered guest | Marie, also look at JandR.com for the H/K receiver, the newer model of the 230 is the 235 and I think it's about $350 U.S. shipped. I'd second monkeyman, I'm pretty happy with my JBL E150, it was a steal at $178 shipped brand new from eBay. |
