    personally i would buy buy wherever i found the best deal...just make sure the seller or the store is reputable. stores like best buy or frys are usually more expensive then internet stores.

    Just make sure that you buy from an authorized Polk dealer. Why? You'll find out if you ever need to call upon them for any kind of warranty work. Be sure to register your product after purchase as well. Good luck and happy hunting.
