A couple of good online source that I have used for speaker purchases.
http://www.accessories4less.com - Factory online discontinued-closeout dealer for Accoustic Research speakers / I bought brand new AR-11's $379.oo pair + shipping / retail 1000.oo pair / 5 yr wty on all drivers - 1 year wty on built in subwoofer amps when applicable.
Other AR models are also available at considerable discounts = 40-50% off retail. A4L's prices can vary day to day, the AR-11 speakers have run as high as 450.00 pr and as low as 349.00 pr.

Another online dealer to check out with a good assortment of mid-to-upper line speakers.

Quite simply - Great prices and service! I picked up a pair of Polk Lsi-9's for 660.oo shipped vs 1100.oo retail. ASD may be a grey market dealer, But I figured most speakers are generally pretty reliable, unless you blow them up by playing your system at rock concert levels of volume
Typical - good online return - restocking fee policies, Full 30 day vs 14 day defective exchange - ASD indicates they will act as wty repairer for length of mfrs. wty's. Execelent communication via e-mail (UPS tracking number and order status inquiries) Phone calls answered by live bodies, and questions are answered. My second order took a few weeks to deliver (new product on market) but I was not billed until it was shipped. BTW A4L's prices on the AR speakers are still better than ASD, But ASD carries a better selection of AR models and other brands.
My .02 cents worth
