Just got mine this Morning ,ordered them on Friday, so not bad, but I live in CA and they did come from here also, so that's why we are getting taxed Iin CA. Arrived in perfect shape, the only thing is the Manual says to place the SW at least 20" away from PC(HD's) had kind of a hard time finding a place for it, it's a fricken monster. I only have a SBLIVE value, but it still sounds amazing. I think I have blood on me from Q3. At least i won't have to consider a Speaker upgrade for quite awhile.
