Hi, I'm a new comer to this forum

currently, I was considering buying the iSonic Entertainment System

but I want to listen to it first before I make any purchase, so I can compare the sound quality with traditional Hi-Fi or similar products on the market

Does anyone know any retail store carries this in Canada ? (actually I mean in GTA area ? I live in Toronto)

thanks for any help

    No, you need to order directly from Polk Audio. I did.

    Isn't that only a temporary thing? When do they start to sell it through retailers?

    I'm not sure. They may have started the retail side in Canada. Contact Polk and ask.

    I thought they don't ship to Canada.

    Anyway, mind if I ask about the sound quality?
    what about the performance on bass , etc?

    thanks

    I'm just wondering if this is at least "comparable" with a normal bookshelf system

    I like iSonic because it has all the features in a small size package

    (even tho I think $599 is bit too much for me)

    Yes, they do ship to Canada. I suggest e-mailing them directly and ask if it has been released to the retail sector in Canada.
    The one I received was having a power problem so I sent it back (Polk paid for the shipping) after a day or two and they are sending me a new one. The customer service at Polk is top notch. Do a search on the forum and you will see what other people have said about the I-Sonic.
    Also, ask them about any promos as there was one when I purchased mine but I beleive it has expired.

    Hello,
    Yes it is available in Canada. It would be best to send an email to Walter Moser, the Canadian manager. He is at wmoser@polkaudio.com or call him at 1-905-457-0164 and he can fill you in.
    Regards, Ken
