Perhaps I should add that they are competitively priced in NZ - a land where often prices are many times what you (lucky little bastards) in the US pay.
For example the Weber Baby Q (retails $119USD on Amazon.com) retails for $550NZD here - that's $408USD. Why the difference - importers know we can only get stuff from overseas with great difficulty (e.g. Weber prohibits international sales for retailers), so they rip us off. Hence my favour to the relatively cheap (vs. other options available in NZ) Bose speakers.
Big thanks to max andrews for the links and the idea of building my own - will look into it as a viable alternative.
