[QUOTE="Squareleg, post: 94523, member: 2521"] I have been looking arround for a 5.1 speaker package for my living room. The space is somewhat limited so I really want any large tallboy type front but more in the way of bookshelf speakers. In my searching the net, I came accross the Energy Take Classic package which got very good reviews and high praise from all and sunder. This seems ideal for what I want. After a lot of searching, I eventually managed to locate the local SA distributor of the Energy Take range and they quoted a price of about R8000 for this system. Amazon in the USA, on the other hand, are selling the same product for $399 which equates to about R3000 - a big difference in price. I just get the feeling that we are getting screwed when it comes to buying highend electronic goods. They do ship internationally so I was wondering if it would not be a good idea to import the item directly - see their cost break down below : Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System (Set of Six) $399.00 Items: ZAR 3,007.28 Shipping & Handling: ZAR 1,881.03 Total Before Tax: ZAR 5,591.44 Estimated Tax To Be Collected:* ZAR 0.00 Import Fees Deposit ZAR 703.13 Order Total: ZAR 5,591.44 [/QUOTE]
