Default Decision made -- now where to buy?

Hi. After many days and many many hours of research (many of which were spent on this fine forum), I've finally decided to buy the SA6's. Question is where? I live in the UK, and they seem impossible to find anywhere. Is there an official distributor? A favoured etailer/retailer that could carry it? I know that EarphoneSolutions.com and SoundEarphones.com sell it for the $200USD discounted price (which is right at the top of my budget of £100), but the extra $40 delivery (and 18% VAT at the border) are going to kill me.

Any suggestions?

There is an official dealer in U.K., but you ain't gonna like it.

Wow. $300 not including P&P. That's extortion. May have to write them a letter.

A quick update, just got this letter from advancedmp3players.co.uk (another top etailer in the UK):

Quote:
Thank you for your email. I'm afraid that at this current time we do not have any plans to carry the Sleek Audio range of IEMs. However, I've forwarded the information onto the accounts team so we may carry them in the near future.

Kind Regards,
Advanced MP3 Players

TEL: 0131 273 4388
FAX: 0131 273 4397
EMAIL: sales@advancedmp3players.co.uk
WEB: http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk
So there is some hope yet that there will be more than a single supplier in the UK, but we shouldn't hold our breaths.

Well, in the end I decided to buy from SoundEarphones.com. At $189.99 it was hard to resist!
