Curse Vanns for not shipping to Canada (Jamo Speakers)

[Hoser59]

I've been looking for some new rear bipole or dipole speakers to replace my Polk M10's and I ran accross this yesterday...

http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/it..._c=site_search

Not only are they a fantastic price but they even match my polk setup (black cabinets and silver faces). I excitedly started through the check out procedure, credit card in hand only to discouver they don't offer shipping to Canada I looked everywhere on the net for these and Vanns is the only place that has them (that I can find). Who wants to find me a set in Canada? Or better yet buy these and ship them to me!

On a side note does anyone have these speakers?

Hoser, do you know they are 6 ohms?.....and do you know if your Sony 720 can handle that sufficiently? It may be OK, but I would hate to have anything happen to your receiver. Interesting looking dipole speaker by the way.

Hey Fors, I did know that and my manual says that my receiver can handle them. It doesn't matter anyway. They were cheap enough that I was willing to give them a try but living in Canada has it's disadvantages. I'm really itching to buy something new

I'm saving up right now for the Sony 400 Disc BD changer. I mentioned it to my wife in passing and she jumped on the idea. We only have 40 BD's right now but seeing as it plays regular DVD's as well we could put every disc we have in it and still have room for 100 more. Then I can get rid of that useless AV cabinet I have in my living room that has never had a peice of AV equipment in it (I bought it on a whim and nothing fits in the damn thing). It's the most expensive movie shelf ever. See likes the idea of being able to flip through the titles on screen when we have friends over.

Other then that I am looking into getting HD cable and PVR, but I can't really shop around for a deal on that. It's addicting once you get started upgrading things.

That Sony disc changer sounds very cool. I don't blame your wife for wanting something that really simplifies things like that. However be careful, I think the upgradeitis bug has already bitten you, and it is easy to want more...but you should know this already!
