The importation of luxury goods adds an extra layer of cost on top of any domestic production/distribution of luxury goods (or Fuji apples or romaine lettuce) and it's up to the consumer to decide if they want domestic Honeycrisp or green leaf instead. Or, Devore, Joseph Audio, Avalon...

Aerial.
Their marketing would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the Middle Ages, but, the products have excellent engineering, top-quality construction, and are very fairly priced.
Aerial's 5B with dedicated stands I believe is under $3000, and in some respects it obviously outperforms many imports in the $4000 to $5500 tier.
But if the other aspects are what one is focusing on, then paying extra for what you want is worth it--to them.
When the Editor of Steinway's classical-music lifestyle magazine asked me for a recommendation, we talked and he ended up--for his situation--choosing Aerial's 6. But when another person in that organization wanted a great speaker for his situation, he ended up with Harbeth P3ESRs. Both, last I heard, were very happy.

Can you explain , this is a 2 way sealed cabinet , why the multiple peaks .....

The single peak in the bass is due to the sealed-cabinet loading of the
woofer, the twin peaks in the upper midrange are due to the crossover,
which is more complex than is usually the case with a two-way design.

Are the 30.1's six grand in the U.S. and just over four grand in Canada?

Don't know that, but maybe smaller market, less demand, less greedy, urrr I mean lower overhead importer? Is the importer the same for US/Can? I assume gray market protections to eliminate cross border purchases.
Anyone know if B&M pricing on these is the same as the Acoustic Sounds mail order? I didn't see any territory restrictions.
