I have assembled this system through used purchases, on Audiogon, and very cheap new or hand-me-downs (CD player and TT). My next step is to move up in speakers to Sophia's or Usher Dancers, or something in that range.
I already checked prices in Taiwan and you can expect to pay around $6K USD for the BE10, not including shipping and customs.
As for reliability, I have had my Ushers for 1 year now, with almost daily use and no problems. It appears to be very well built! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
abone1999, as a person who moved up from BW (601, 805S, 802D), I would say that Ushers are a great choice. I now have the BE10. You really do get incredible performance at a very reasonable price but I am sure you have read all of the reviews already. Good luck!
