Komplett is the best price I can find easily at €299 and they have them in stock also. Pixmania is selling them for €330.

cheers,
wouldnt have though of komplett for an item this big as their shiping charges used to be extortionate.
however 12 euro from an post is excellent which is what they offer now.
i can still see the 227euro shipping with dhl option which is "a bit" high

The An Post delivery is usually excellent, ahead of GLS IMO.

I ordered these off komplett last week. According to An Post's website, they have yet to collect it from komplett, despite being advised of it on the 1st.
I'm hoping that their tracking service is just crap and not their collection/delivery service and they will be waiting for me when I get home today!
On the other hand, a hard drive I ordered from pixmania on the 3rd has made its when from their depot in Paris to a courier in Dublin, thats through DHL so they seem to be a lot faster.

thanks for that bit of info,
can you let me know how long it takes overall to receive your speakers?

mcgovern

Well it seems its not An Post to blame, the speakers shipped from a warehouse in Holland, I don't know what the point in giving you an Irish tracking number if its no good for most of its journey.
Anyway, Komplett say it should be delivered by close of business tommorrow, though I'm doubtful since An Post haven't got it yet!
Hard drive from Pixmania was delivered today.

Incidentally, I don't know if it makes any difference to you, but one of the factors that turned me off buying them from Pixmania was the fact that they would most likely be the European version rather than Irish/UK and there could be problems with the different voltages and didn't want to blow €300!
However the Komplett model is also the European model it seems, as they included a 2 pin to 3 pin adapter in the order (for free though).
Anyway, I'll let you know when I get my hands on them.

thanks,

i bouth the z-5400's off pixmania during the summer and had no problems with voltage [afaik all europe is the same voltage - just different plugs]

An Post attempted delivery of these this morning (no one at home though), so it was pretty fast once they got them (which was also only this morning).
Will let you know how great they are tommorrow

subway

excellent

2 things,

1: Be careful with them, I blew the fuse in the subwoofer when setting them up.
2: These are amazing, just put on CoD2, on the level where you are crossing the Rhine, and it is sweet! With the sound less than half way up the whole room is shaking and to me the sound from the speakers is crystal clear!
So far I'm loving them!
