Accuphase pricing Japan vs. USA


I am interested in Accuphase products but the pricing seems to be out of line.  Is there a reason that you buy the equipment for a "reasonable" price in Japan, but in the USA it is double or more?  I don't get it.

Its not always about Greed, The Taxes, Imports Fees, Marketing, Handling Stocking Gear, Supporting Parts and Warranties, time and effort to run the business. all this requires funds. I'm sure The Dealer can come to some form of a deal if you push it at. 

If you buy direct from Japans something goes wrong can you speak Japanese and get it all sorted out with parts being shipped? Whos gona install it if boards burn out?
