[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 51411, member: 122"] I'm with dotVibe on this. Once you factor in the price of a decent step down transformer, then the price difference is not so appealing. Then, consider that you may have to pay in on excess baggage (some of these weight over 20kg) or you just going with the clothes on your back. Then, in three years you get tired of it and want to sell it, you gonna battle. Point is, in 3 years you gonna be no better off getting it from the states than getting it locally. There's many things I'd get in this way, but AV amps are not one of them. I've found, of late, that a lot of the AV shops are very much into bargaining. I just recently got a Marantz mini system for the study and got almost 20% discount off retail. The Monitor Audio's I ended up getting at 30% off retail at another shop! This was not demo kit, but all brand new. That does make a big difference. [/QUOTE]
