I have just ordered some Canton CD1 speakers from www.tenspot.de

They do cash on delivery, taking the worry out of buying abroad, and it worked out about half the price of UK. Lots of others on this forum have bought from this source, if you wanna do a search

Tenspot delivered to me in 3 days! If only UK retailers were as competent........oh and as cheap!

I'm tempted by a Canton setup based on the CD100's and Tenspot looks the likely source.

A couple of questions though:-

Prices say they include sales tax, does this main that the amount of money inc. delivery that you have in your final basket is all you pay? i.e. no additional VAT or duty payable to UK customs?

Secondly, do they actually take Credit Card or only do Cash On Delivery? Admittedly the Credit Card route may be more expensive than COD as most apply a 2.5% surcharge for foreign exchange transactions.

You don't pay import duty or VAT here cause its EU trade.

They either do cash on delivery or bank transfer, I think it costs a little extra but for COD but is safer than a bank transfer (plus your bank may charge for transferring anyway).

Unfortunately, they don't do the Canton CD range other than the CD1 package.

I'm looking at 2x CD50 (centre & 6.1) 4x CD100 (front & rear) and an ADS25 Sub

Also be aware of the plug is a 2 pin european type. You can either cut it off and put a UK plug on or you can buy an adaptor for very little from HERE

They stock a wide range of Cantons at great prices. Where I bought my CD50's and CD360F's.
