    Canadians buying equipment from US individuals? Taxes? Duties?

    From my experience, always if you can get them to send USPS/Canada post and declare as a gift. I had a $2K US amp shipped to me and I paid $150CAN, alot less than I was thinking and I even had items pass through without paying anything. They aren't the fastest but could save you a few $$$$.

    They will only be shipping in maple this year with the other finishes to be out sometime next year. The cherry finish is standard with b-eye maple, rosewood and high gloss black are premium finishes which will cost more.

    Bryston question

    I was driving my Paradigm 100s with a 3b sst for awhile without any problems. Your best bet is to contact Bryston tomorrow via phone or email, they're very prompt.

    I'm from Ontario, but you'll be looking at about $2000 with the X30 crossover and about $1500 in laminate. I think that is list price so you should be able to do better.

    Binding posts on the Parasound 2025...

    I had the 2205 for a few months and all my cables have spades. Although it isn't the easiest, it is possible. I hooked them up the same way that they show you in the manual. Start from the bottom (rear channels) and work your way up. It's not that bad. Good luck

    Sick and tired of missing out on deals only available in the US! Canadians what to do

    There sure is a way, buy Canadian products and there's a whole bunch of them that are excellent(Classe, Bryston, Anthem, Paradigm, PSB etc.) I thought Onecall shipped to Canada.A buddy of mine had them ship out an HK 520 to Toronto about 5 months ago. Good luck.

    What Power Amp would you buy???

    It all depends on the speakers and/or source equipment.$3500 would buy you a nice 6B SST, or comparable 2 channel amp.That's what I would do, you can always find yourself a good surround multi-channel amp for your surrounds in the meantime but don't short yourself on your main amps. James

    Preamp to receiver, is it possible?

    Paul, I haven't tried it yet as I have had no time but today looks promising. I will be mating the SP1 with a Bryston 6B SST.But I won't have the HK at the same time.It has to go to help fund it.I have a buyer(maybe) but if it falls through, I will let you know how it compares.

    2 Channel Amp in Canada

    Bob, Was that $400-500US or CDN? If it's US you can find a used Bryston in that range.Maybe you could use this to power your mains. I have the HK 8000 and i'm not sure if the amps in the 520 are assignable like in the 8000. What kind of speakers do you have?

    Thoughts on Paradigm Studios 40's

    John, I went for the 100's but the 40's and a good sub was a close second.I don't think you could go wrong with any of the reference line for the $$$.

    Am I Wrong To Be Worried About The Rollout Of Paradigm Studio v3's?

    A used Lex or an H/K AVR 8000?

    Steve, I also live in Canada.I bought the HK 8000 from J&R in NY.They are an authorized dealer and it cost me $1836US shipped. You also have to pay taxes and a small fee(because it was not made in Canada or the US) when it crosses the border.It amounted to $500CAN.Still a great savings...
