What's with that? Less than $175 for 1 of the Athena AS-F2.2's, which means that the two of them are $350! And Amazon is selling them! The closest I can find in price is Audio Advisor, which sells for $499 plus shipping. What's the deal?

What's wrong with low prices? You can't go wrong with Amazon. If they have the best price, go for it! It's not some no-name company with a neon-colored website.

No kidding! Since it's Amazon.com product that means free shipping, which saved me over $70! In case you're wondering why I used the past tense, it's because I already bought 'em. I couldn't pass up a deal like that, sold by a very reputable company.
And about the manufacturer's warranty, the info for the speakers on Amazon said 5-year man. warranty, but you're right that Amazon isn't an authorized dealer. But even if the speakers do break somehow, I'm not exactly up a creek without a paddle -- I'm up a creek with $200 to spend before I've even reached retail for the speakers. And come on, Amazon doesn't scam people do they?

OH and you guys better hurry: it looks like there are only 4 more left in stock. And that's 4 speakers, not four pairs of speakers. At least they have an even number :)

That's the same price that Onecall sells them for... no wait... that is Onecall ;)
Amazon is just the vehicle for searching in this case, you'll actually be buying those speakers through Onecall via Amazon. I mean, just read the information... it specifically says... "shipped from Onecall" and links you to Onecall's website :p
Didn't you guys know Amazon did that sort of thing? :)

hehehehehe. oh well. I personally would put totem forests in my bathroom. they would match the decor better.
If I'm reading the ad right, those are the F2 series 1 models that are discontinued. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You can even get the matching center for 99.00. Which is a damn good deal as well.
A high quality front stage system for 400.00 can be had hear. WHAT A STEAL.
