Over on the forums at www.hsuresearch.com, there has been some discussion of this. It seems that Hsu Research, which is making its first foray into Big Box retail channels, was surprised by CompUSA's aggressive pricing and online marketing.
At any rate, the STF-2s are for sale at CompUSA retail stores, but I don't think you'll find them advertised online. I just bought one today for $350. (Unfortunately it was DOA, and I'll exchange it tomorrow.)
The DOA problem aside, I was pleasantly surprised to find the Hsu product available for immediate purchase at an aggressive price at a store like CompUSA. But after a frustrating day spent dealing with retail bots in several stores (including Fry's and Best Buy -- "Huh, What's a crossover?"), I am very glad the direct-sale online marketing channel is still around at Hsu and here at Axiom.
Just hope the oversized CompUSA tail doesn't start wagging the dog.
BTW, I just ordered my M22s tonight!
