I think something else you have to look at is shipping cost, exchange rate on dollar buying from the states and duty coming in to Cananda. I know I've bought amps from california and the shipping cost was only 90 dollars to Canada. Another guy in Chicago wanted 260 dollars for an amp weighing around the same as the amp i purchased in California. When someone is trying to make up on the shipping what they couldnt get fro their equipment that really ticks me off to the point where I lose interest in their product
