Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: About to purchase Harbeth Monitor 30s from outside of the USA...speak now or forever hold your peace.

Here's the problem. You get the speakers and 6 months down the road you blow a driver. Well, guess what. You are shit out of luck. The distributor from Harbeth will not sell you a new driver because it wasn't purchased through an authorized dealer in the states. Then you are stuck with a speaker that doesn't work. Now If Harbeth used an off the shelf driver that would not really matter. But since their drivers are proprietary you are stuck. So even if you save 2 or 3k on the front end. You could lose that same 2 or 3k on the backend.
