Joel, they charge $60 for shipping and it's reasonably easy to get $100 off the published price 
So £1,000 seems about right, give or take a few quid. You can alternatively buy from the UK distribulor for £1,095 and have the back up many crave. Ken, the UK distributor has been in the hifi industry for longer than most of you have lived
So we still have comparable quality at lower prices - hopefully others will think of this when shopping in the new year
