With NAFTA etc, if you buy electronics from a US brand and that is manufactured in the US don't you pay less duties if any? Does anybody know what the % duty is?
How were the prices at American Sound of Canada? I was thinking about the Theta Digital Dreadnaught power amp, and I think they are the only dealer in Ontario (or even Canada) and therefore would not negotiate price. I notice all the dealers in the US sell under list. Also, did anybody buy...
I just auditioned the RDC-7 with the RDA-7 power amp which were connected to B&W Nautilus speakers (803s I think). I was quite inpressed except the test room was so large (25 x 30), I don't know if it would sound better in a smaller room. Anyway I was wondering what amps you RDC-7 owners are...

I am researching a mid/high end 5.1/7.1 system and am looking for some advice. I have already decided on the speakers that I intend to buy (Monitor Audio Gold Reference 60s, centre, 10s and FB212 sub) but need some help on the separates. So far I am considering the following which should all...
