Axdude, I have seen/been quoted RS6s in Ontario for slightly less than $1500 Cn and RS8s for about $2000 Cn which, although less expensive than your quotes, are about 25% to 40% higher than the lowest prices I saw in the US.
However, certain Canadian speakers can be had at likely better pricing than can be found South of the border. That's why I will second Jay's recommendation on a DSP sub from Paradigm. I have the DSP3400 and have also heard the DSP3200, both of which are excellent subs(Imho) and at very reasonable $$ in Ontario. My 3400 was $700 Cn and was quoted around $550 for a 3200...I haven't heard the 3100 or have a quote for it, but my guess would be around $425 to $450. Personally, I believe these subs are somewhat of a hidden gem regarding performance/value...they are rarely brought up as often as the 3 letter brands and we seem to get the better deal in Canada on them.
