Actually, a recent communication with a Bermuda Customs tariff officer quoted import duties on audio amplifiers and loudspeakers at 22.5%, which I guess is not particularly usurious in itself - but in combination with shipping charges and brokerage fees assessed by certain brown companies if a shipper was to forget the first S in USPS, the landing costs could easily double the expense of a small price tag order. I've had that happen to me on orders from less than 200 miles distant - on my island, "overnight air" via UPS has definitely meant "see you next week"
The real intent was to locate / recruit any active DIYers for get together listening/ beverage, BBQ and BS sessions. As I've said elsewhere, the volume and veracity of information available via the internet for a newbie in any hobby can be overwhelming - and for someone being gently guided to the paradigm shift of roll yer own / less is more way, the proof would be in the hearing.
