Especially if you have to make a significant deposit up front, then wait for them to build the speaker.

If they have it in stock and can ship it with a PayPal payment no problem.

I just looked at the website and see no physical address or telephone, so I would be a bit concerned to send money.

Philharmonicaudio has a very solid reputation, albeit a small company.  One of the few speaker companies whose products are destined to become classics after the Company is gone.  That means they have a following. Just like Ascend Acoustics.  IMO.

The company is basically just Dennis Murphy. He sells his speakers for basically no mark up. I hope that he is okay. He designs some of the crossovers for Salk Sound and Salk builds some of his cabinets. He is a very generous person.
