[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1087461, member: 146"] I've seen that speaker in the local classifieds, perhaps place a wanted ad? The overseas used pricing is always tempting, but personally I would not risk it. Freight is likely to be at least R6k and then VAT and whatever duties SARS wants to slap on. As a humorous story, my beloved McIntosh centre speaker had a very OCD owner. So OCD that he double-boxed the original packing (which would have been fine on its own), in a box more than three times the volume. I could not even fit it in a hatchback. In the end, USPS would not accept it and it had to come with Lufthansa Cargo, and I had to get a local clearance company to clear it for me. 15 years later it's still merrily playing, but I would never do that ordeal in this day and age.
