The Mission are, all by themselves.


Here are some 71's on Audiogon, just for reference...

There is a trio of the 73 with the center(the listing doesn't say which actual center) for $65 US....but it has a few days left. So your price Canadian(including the Sony) is just about right.


Now here is a dumb question...if our Dollar(USA) has depreciated to barely "worth more" than the CAD...why is Canadian stuff still so expensive?

No idea. I know when I go to the states everything is cheaper though. I think you guys have a lower cost of living as well. Possibly export taxes are so high in canada?

I have family in Buffalo. One of my cousins manages a Bed, Bath & Beyond. The store is on the north end of Buffalo. Her monthly "sales stats" on the company charge card shows 70% of the business is from Canadian citizens.
