Ooops!  Sorry, I didn't notice that Genelec's market is 
studio monitors and custom home theater installations - that 
is real high-end stuff thus the cost and exceptional 
engineering.  Here is their USA distributor:
http://www.genelecusa.com/ht/products/

Even so, it is hard to believe that no-one makes a consumer 
grade (read: affordable for we peasants) product that is not 
impossibly poorly engineered re. RFI.  Perhaps a business 
opportunity in our beleaguered USA manufacturing sector?
