I doubt if either the importer(Tone Imports) or the retailer is marking this companys products up 100%.If I remember correctly,the LM speakers retail for $8,995.00 which I admit is a lot of $.On the other hand ,these are pretty big and presumably heavy loudspeakers and they include a pr of mono 300 B amps to drive the field coils so shipping from China would be very expensive. In addition,there would not be a traditional dealer at which you could hear them to say nothing of all the other benefits a good dealer offers. To the best of my knowledge Don Better audio is the only high-end retailer in this part of Ohio.His showrooms are in his home and he has a wide variety of gear that can be demo'd. He is also very knowledgeable and helpful.I do purchase some of my gear used but I plan to do my part to support retailers such as Don whenever possible.
