I recently auditioned for someone which lead to a purchase and I let him know he could pick up the speakers at the factory for a discount (as I did). He called to confirm you can still do this, you can, and I believe he said it is now 5%.
The discount isn't necessarily worth the drive, but if you can arrange a good time to go and meet some of the people and see the factory, then it's definitely worth it. I purchased my speakers while there for the anniversary/picnic. They could have charged me admission
I just saw your potential order, what do you drive? You'll need some serious space for all of those boxes.
