Why not online if you like that speaker?

yes.... if you like those, it seems silly to get something else just because a local store is sold out!

No shipping or tax through Amazon though.

Was that $50 for the pair or $50 per speaker?

(edit) Ahhh, I see it is for the pair. Ground shipping would be approx. $13.50 - $15.00 and then you have to add tax. So based on your sales tax rate it would have been around $65-$70 for the pair.

If you are set on these speakers then either pay the extra $10-15 at amazon or wait to see if they come back in stock. It is kind of ridiculous to choose another brand/model if you have selected these based on performance and these are the ones YOU want.

good point, i picked them on performance for the dollar honestly. they are decent but for the 50 bucks they were great. i guess i was looking for other suggestions in the same area. like i know of the insignias and so on.

At this price range, they are all pretty much crap, so you should get the ones that you liked.

Get them even though they went up $30, because that is still a very small price to pay if you really like the speaker.
