very good choice

still no answer from alessandro...i dont think he likes me

Dear einis... If you unfortunately fail to buy MS-2 from Alessandro, I can help you buy it from Taiwan's official Alessandro dealer. The price is much lower and if plus the shipping fee it should be still lower than Alessandro's price.

if i fail to buy at alessandro i would have lost $299, and then not much left to get a different pair from someone else..

 

[Shang-Ti Chen]

Darn, how come? I believe you won't lose the money and they certainly will reply to you... I have read some people who ordered from Alessandro in the past said they were slow in reply too. Take it easy and don't worry... Alessandro seems to not look like a big audio company. Maybe this is why they are slow...

Chen - How much are the MS-1's in Taiwan? Are they available online?

http://www.hifi.com.tw/alessandro.html

prices are in taiwan dollars.

btw, they do speak perfect english in email correspondence. my ms-2s were shipped from them.

do note that they only accept wire transfer though.

EDIT: they arent available 'online' like, say amazon - you'll have to contact them via email to sort out how they will sell you one.

If my currency converter is accurate, the MS2's are $233. My guess is the savings would get mostly eaten up by shipping costs.

 

[einis]

they are very light..
many friends of mine have ordered alot ex. from cattylink.com they took about 10 dollar per kilo, even with fedex.

shippinh for these cant be much, damn...iv ordered wrong again

 

[Shang-Ti Chen]

Hey adhoc, how did you know hifi? It's good to see that you purchased from them.

Did you get to know them from my posting? When did you buy your MS-2's from them?

 

[tyrion]

Shang-Ti Chen,
Do you know if the currency conversion in my earlier post is accurate. Also, do you have any idea on how much shipping would be to the U.S. for a pair of MS-2's?

 

[Shang-Ti Chen]

Hi tyrion... Yes your conversion is correct. For MS-2's price 7800 TWD=232.83 USD. I don't really know how much the shipping cost is for you but you can simply write them an E-Mail to ask about anything you want to know. But if you have decided to buy MS-2's from them, please mention my name to them so I can get a good reputation (because their customer service is very good I told them I would recommend people on Head-Fi to purchase from them), thank you!

 

[tyrion]

I will make sure to use your name in my e-mail. I will post the info. in case anyone else is interested.

Wow, is that ever disappointing. I am looking to buy the MS-1's but they are still $95 from HIFI.com. Hardly seems right considering the MS-2's are 22% cheaper at HIFI and the MS-1's are only 4% cheaper. Great deal for those wanting the MS-2's though.

 

[tyrion]

If I buy the MS-2's thru the website in Taiwan, I will be selling my MS-1's to fund the purchase.
