welcome Muffinman,
if you check at the Factory Outlet, they have bargains on speakers with very slight cosmetic blemishes. Most outlet buyers haven't been able to find a single thing wrong with their speakers (including myself). That'll save you some money.

I'm not sure where you are located, but even in Canadian $$$, a pair of M40tis are only $680, $612 from the F.O.
