IMHO, you are a treasure. That may be the answer but ... I wonder if the residence is changed if that does not block my Visa Payments because my Visa card will remain German.

I think so long as your billing address matches the card, you won't have a problem. I can't say for sure though - all my cards are Thai.

change rejected. How to spend a Tuesday ordering speakers :-)

After laboring got new US account. Found one seller for 2 speakers. Shipping charges alone $175 .

Reasonable?

Link works fine for me on Firefox, just click the link as the forum board software shortens the actual URL. Good informative thread bTW, thanks IMHO.

To be honest, I've only heard them in a shopping mall environment, with ambient noise, and someone else's media. All I can really say is that they clearly have a 'tuned' response (for all I know, that could have been as a result of what the salesperson thought made for a good demo though) - but from what I heard I wouldn't class them as a neutral sounding speaker - so whether you like them or not is purely personal taste.

I didn't stop back for a more detailed demo, if that says anything though

How about this BOSE Companion® 2 Series III multimedia speaker system?

IMHO , I owe a much delayed answer, yes I ordered , everything went fine. UNTILL .............. I wiil not bore you, but ordering from a German ebay account and shipment to Th, proved impossible. Will save you the intermezzo I had with ebay, because my credit card had already been accepted.

Rather than having a nervous breakdown I gave the issue a rest But will try again, I want the JBL LSR305'

I haven't auditioned these - I'm just not a Bose fan (Bose practically invented colored sound )

This thread is discussing budget audiophile speakers - you might get better feedback in the computers forum?

What a bummer..

This Thai vendor has them for 8K each (so 16K Baht pair), but shipping is stated at 5-12 weeks: http://portal.weloveshopping.com/product/W26407905 If that interests you, I'd suggest an actual phone call to the vendor first though - it sounds to me like they are importing only when you place an order, ans as such you will want to make sure there are no other surprises....

I wonder, IMHO, if you are ever short of an alternative! You may want to donate your brain to science to study your extra-ordinary divergent thinking ability http://1.usa.gov/1K6Jd4r

At present I am using the Companion 5 package and its a decent system. The only reason I pulled these was the duty free in Doha sold them for half price to get rid of the last set they had.

^ recommendations pls. Need a couple pair of cheapos. My reference is a 10yo pr of Altec Lansings that sound great, and loud, which were probably 3k-ish back then. (compared to the well reviewed UE BOOM bluetooth).

Forget about UE Booms.... . I tested more than 10 speakers back to back and the one that truly stood out was Creative's Sound Blaster ROAR. Blew all the other speakers out of the water. Quite impressed by the sound quality especially when played back to back with all the other portable bluetooth speakers.

If we're going to talk BT speakers, I guess this is worth watching/listening

Nothing using BT streaming could ever be classed as audiophile though, of course, and they're just not in the same galaxy as the LSR's.

The good thing about the A2+ (which sit on my daughter's desk) is their size and the fact that they have a pretty 'fun' signature. Definitely agree that they are not neutral sounding, but for their price as well as occupying the minimum amount of space they do a bang up job. They also get reasonably loud with minimum distortion.

I do understand what you mean We have a Harman Kardon Go+Play BT boombox - it's not an accurate sound at all, but it's a fun little system to play pop music by the pool, and just loud enough to be able to hear above a bunch of nosy kids

The upside also is that starting them off young on 'decent' systems means that the bar is raised; hopefully my daughter will not fall into the "Beats trap" where crappy equipment played loudly sounds good to her.
