Quadraspire QX7
Other than www.hifigear.co.uk can anybody suggest an online, or mail order, supplier for these gizmos, that will ship outside of the UK.
They'll only sell to me if a send them a bank transfer (which I can, if I have to), but they want about £28 for postage to France for Three sets, which I consider excessive for less than 1kg.
ideas ?

All I can say is that in the context of how much I spent on other parts of my system, these 'skeets' are a bargain.
Really transformed my speakers (and a mate of mine's)
Puzzled as to why you want three sets though. They come in packs of 4, at about £80 a pack. Center speaker?
Anyway...on the Quadraspire website, they do have a French stockist/distributor. With the pound/euro the sorry state its in, not sure which way the price would go though.

Why 3 sets ? Coz' I got two stands for equipment, and two stands for speakers. One of the equipment stands is already equiped, I got them from hifi gear before they required a bank transfer.
Funny thing about Hamy sound, that address is literally 500m down the street from me, but it's just a mail box. They'll answer the phone tho' I'm sure, they distribute a lot of top gear (accuphase, velodyne ...)
edit:
I telephoned, they distribute them to be sold for 149€ a set. £80 is about 90€.
