Want a real laugh? Click on the link to "Specification". Scarcely a useful detail to be had. For example, the mic spec is:
Rugged construction
Excellent presence and intelligibility
Handsome styling
Professional quality
Heck, I didn't care about frequency response or sensitivity anyway.

Yeah - and "400 watts per amp"? A quick google shows it at Musicians Friend for $100 less.

My 30 metre snake cost more than that.
For that matter, I've got equipment cases that cost more than the whole system.

My friend had the kustom speakers and they indeed did sound like ass. Seismic audio is sweet for the price though.

I don't get why there is variation in prices between the two sites. I assume they both ship from the same place.

Are they really? No surprise I don't buy from either, unless I need something immediately from down the street. They are 6 blocks from each other, only a mile from my house. Well, I used to buy from GC because I had a good friend who was a manager, so he would give me his prices. He wised up and got a real job...

I imagine it's a bit like one of the large furniture and appliance shops down here. They started to realise they had a reputation for being "posh" and therefore perceived as being expensive.
Their solution was to start a subsidiary company, selling the same stuff, but from buildings that don't look as nice--linoleum floors rather than carpet, slightly harsher lighting, and so on. Unlike the example above though, the prices at the "cheap" shop are only marginally better than the "posh" one. However, I've head people actually argue that they shop at Harvey Normal (the posh one) because they have better quality stuff than "Joyce Mayne" (the "cheap" one) even though the goods are identical.

I suspect the $100 difference was a mistake but someone doing data entry.
