There are only 2 ways that I know of to buy the Bose System....on line from Bose, or at any Guitar Center. The prices are the same. Not sure if buying from Bose direct will save sails tax, but i heard they ship free. The best thing to do is find some things you dont want, and dont have the energy to sell yourself, and take them to GC to trade. Probably worth it.....I am in the process of trying to find out.
