I've heard about how there might be some services that you can use where you order something from another country and it is delivered to that service's facilities and then they send it to you. I can't say for sure how well this works and how to find these services, but, it might be something worth looking into considering.

BTW, I've heard of the possibility that the 2.1s can have a bit of trouble with heat as well. Has anyone ever come up with any sort of "cooling mod" so to speak for these sets? I really like these speakers and want them to last a good long while if at all possible. Mind you, I usually use no more than about 1/3 volume and the subwoofer is set below Klipsch's mark at about 1/3 (I guess I have it on maybe 1/5 or so) so it may not be taking as much punishment as usual, but I like the idea of it lasting as long as possible and it does feel rather warm to the touch if I leave them turned on for a while even idling (though I've now wired up something where I have a switch up high for turning them on and off more easily, I still don't always remember to turn them off.) I don't really see myself changing PC speakers for a long time right now as these suit my needs perfectly when on the right settings. Obviously I won't be modding my speakers until the waranty expires, but it would be nice to ensure that they continue to last a long time yet.
