Getting Pioneer Elite in Canada?

[Thaedium]

Well the title basically gets at what I'm asking here. I live in Petawawa Ontario, about an hour and a half out of Ottawa, and there really isn't anything around here remotely like a real Hi-fi shop. Either way, for some reason I got it in my head to want to purchase a Pioneer Elite plasma TV, probably the PRO-110FD 50". Problem is, I can't find any place around that sells Pioneer, let alone Pioneer Elite and I'm just baffled. Pioneer's handy locator doesn't seem to be working for me at all, so I'm stuck there.

Don't suppose anyone has any ideas or suggestions?

Well, up here your big box stores don't carry Elite...generally. You can get Pioneer panels at Best Buy, non-Elite but 1080p. Pet' is near Ottawa yes? You should be able to find a higher end shop there somewhere...most likely not a franchise store, but a custom shop.

If you're willing to travel, there are plenty of shops in Toronto that carry Elite. I can recommend Canadian Sound in Oakville...great guys, tone of knowledge, expert installers etc. They have the new Elite panels (just talked to the owner) They had 2 60" Elites sold before the box was even open!!

Good luck!

Thanks for the input guys, I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see whats in stock and what the prices are. I'm going to assume that the Elite Pro-110FD 50" is probably a little close to the MSRP listed at Pioneer's websites. Perhaps I can work out a deal if they have some other equipment there that I want to upgrade too as well.
