One of the local dealers in my area sent me an email:

"Lower Grado prices‏"

iGrado - $59.99 (old price $74.00)
SR-60 - $99.99 (old price $129.99)
SR-80 - $139.99 (old price $169.99)
SR-125 - $179.99 (old price $219.99)
SR-225 - $239.99 (old price $295.99)
SR-325i - $369.99 ($489.99)
RS-2 - $599.99 ($749.99)
RS-1 - $799.99 ($999.99)
GS-1000 - $1149.99 ($1449.99)

There are some pretty significant drops, I might even consider picking some up. Until now they have been far too expensive to buy in Canada.

You can PM if you want to know which dealer, I don't want this to be advertising.

hmmm...still I don't understand why is there a 30% difference in price between US and Canada when the loonie is higher than the greenback.

E.g. SR-60 is USD$69 but CAD$99 ?!?!?

These "Lower Grado prices‏" are the usual prices at Bay Bloor.

That store is pretty silly. They charge $600 for K701s and $650 for HD650s.

Agreed.

Also note that even after customs and duties, buying from the US still may be cheaper, sadly. >_>;

Unfortunately they don't ship to Canada. At least they are not supposed to anyway.

those prices are still not that great, but it's a start. They still reflect a 20-40% premium. I can see a case for a 10% premium, maybe even 20 if generous, but the SR60 should be priced no more than $85 IMO

Gougers.

There always the a4audio.com which are located in Canada but sell at US price in USD not that it make much of a difference now

but right now they don't have anything lower than SR-125.

However I never bought anything from them so not sure how their services is.
