I suspect the reason you are seeing the Canadian equipment for so cheap is the exchange rate between our currencies. While in Vancouver last summer I picked up a Bryston 3B amp for a friend brand new from a dealer there. It cost me only $1100 and change ship directly to his door in CAlifornia via UPS 2 day. He paid $100 duty. I think that amp sells for 1700-1800 in the states. This same dealer had the PSB's and with the exchange they were 40% off. Hope it helps.
