i will be in the us next year and i am not sure about whether to get my customs in china or in the us. the jh13 is about 1200$ in china and there's shipping fee. i want to ask, are there any retailers with better prices than the website price? and will there be difficulties in purchasing without proper credit cards? i have almost no pocket money and it would take me a long time to save up. will there be difficulty bringing impressions? i am concerned about customs. thanks a million

Try UM's 6-driver monitors. They'll be out real soon, but they may start working on yours now if you shoot them an email. I'm not sure of the price, but I bet it's at least $300 cheaper than the JH13. From the frequency graphs I've seen of the two, they appear to have a similar sound signature, but the UM model has a little more low bass. I should have a pair soon. I'll be sure to let everyone know how they sound.
