dang!
Another Aussie fan here, looking to get a set. The only way seems to be to go the 4.2 route (2 2.1 sets) but that's what, about $1200?!?!?
You're kidding. When the Klipsch site has them for US$299 (currently on sale), that's a max of AUD$600, say about AUD$700 including delivery. Where the hell is that margin going?
If Altecs, Bose, and even the Klipsch cinema stuff etc can get sent into Australia, why not the Promedia?
The reason I want Klipsch is their quality and insane power compared to other sets. Those reviews are amazing, but I can tell you people at Klipsch that you are definitely losing customers unless you find a way to serve the Australian market!
It's ridiculous business ethics to ignore a potentially lucrative market just because the initial outlay is expensive. The scarcity of dealers and owners of Klipsch in Australia just makes you look ridiculous - unless you lose some money in the initial outlay to promote and expand into Australia! Good promotion will ensure that there is demand. Klipsch speakers can kick the PC stuff that's on the Australian market now, IF you can market it correctly. You won't do that with excuses that the intial delivery cost is too much, because then there's no point in moving any units in the Australian market. Don't just touch the water, jump in! Be prepared for an initial loss until the units start selling, then it becomes profitable and worthwhile.
