most speakers sites are fairly shady, and theres a reason. The majority of manufactors of h-fi equipment do not deal online. This means that if a store is selling lets say, klipsch reference serise speakers online, they wernt purchased straiht through klipsch. You can run into some trouble by doing this because a) if they arrive doa or stop working after a while, the store will most likley refer you to klipsch, and klipsch will find out you didnt purchash them through a authorized dealer, and they WONT service or repair your products. b) your speakers may not be brand new from the company. The online store could of bought these used, or from a clearance outlet gettign rid of a bunch of last years stock. They could be damaged, and there have been cases where the speakers were in fact stolen. SO, ide buy from a authorized dealer only. Good Luck!
