Hi - I'm in the USA, and it seems that the HK Lucas Nano 600 powered speaker system is not avail in the USA. Does anyone know of a way to acquire one for shipment into the US (legally etc.)? Also, if I bought (for example) from UK or somewhere in Europe, I assume I'd have to be concerned about the A/C power since USA is 120V/60Hz and Europe/UK is different?

I'm not SURE yet that I want a Lucas Nano 600, but it's tempting ...
Thanks for any info/advice on how to get one in the USA,
Jim

Talk to Frank..


I would say after owning two Nano 300's that the New HK Nano 600 should be an amazing sounding system especially for Arranger KB use !! ...keep us posted after you get yours..

Hi - already checked with Frank. He can't get 'em. They are not being sold/distributed in the US. I was hoping to find another way (such as via a Europe or UK supplier that ships to US?)

Did you call HK Audio directly and see what distributors they have that ship world wide.....I would assume there are more then a few.

Thanks - will try that. At first, it kept pointed me to KORG USA, which apparently handles HK for the USA. I had already contacted KORG USA, and they cannot get the Nano 600. So, I have written to UK in Germany to see what they say ...

Thanks for the idea,
Jim

I would call direct to HK.....

good luck..

Try this shop from germany

Impuls

The last time I looked, Germany was using 220/240 VAC power, so this means that the 600 purchased from them would have to be modified to run on 110/120 VAC in the US.

Thomann is Europe's largest online music store. I guess they normally don't deliver to the US, but it's worth trying. Did you check the specs about voltage?
[Edit:] Gary was quicker regarding voltage...

BTW, I'm just coming from a band rehearsal, in which we also tested various of my speaker systems, mainly the HK Lucas Nano 300 and the db technologies K300, which I bought recently. They are small and a pair weighs no more than the Nano 300: 11 kilograms.
I had to play 'against' a drummer with these. At first we just used the Nano 300. Everyone was amazed how much power it had. No problem playing with the drummer (I play left hand bass and various sounds with the right hand). the singer also used the Nano 300 input.
Then, I switched to the pair of db K300 speakers. We were all absolutely thrilled by them!!! They don't have any deep bass of course, but otherwise sounds like piano, e-piano or brass sound spectacular with them, very loud and very clear. Apart from the subwoofer bass, they beat the Nano 300 by far.
Then we used db K300 and Nano300 in combination. Absolutely fantastic. The great, great clear mids and highs of the K300 and the subwoofer of the Nano 300 were a dream team.
So, if you don't need an extreme amount of bass, I would surely prefer this combination to one Lucas Nano 600.

You can try musicstore.de they ship to the US
and most speakers now have 110-220 auto transformer but you can email them and ask them,one thing I don't understand? there are so many good speakers to choose here in the US? why would you get these? 120Watts? and a lot to ship and just the speaker 330 euro? that's a lot of money, anyhow good luck!
