The only catch with EVGA is they don't ship to Canada
Is that a recent change? The last time I checked (2017), they ship to Canada via UPS Worldwide Expedited.

UPDATE:
Google's partner in development is now known to be LG Display.
The problem with bookshelf speakers (especially if they are located in a big room) is they lack in the mid bass due to lack of power and drivers. So, you have to over compensate with the subwoofer. This creates an unbalanced sound. You lose a lot of the tight kick/punch in the sound and you don't get the smooth, balanced, and full sound across the whole frequency range.
For the record, I also use bookshelf speakers, but I live in a condo and I can't go too crazy with my system.
my speakers play flat down to 70hz, and my subwoofer flat from 10-100hz.
My subwoofer crossover is set to 90hz.
I auditioned a dozen towers and bookshelves these bookshelves were my favorite at under 2k a pair.
There are drawbacks to that, but a lot also depends on the room setup and the equipment.
As for tower vs bookshelf, take the BMR Philharmonitor for example, it starts at $1,350/pr and offers useful bass down to 32 Hz.
For a bookshelf (albeit a larger one) it has some serious performance with an on-axis frequency response of 32 Hz - 20 Hz (+/- 2db).
One might even be hard pressed to find a tower speaker with this type of performance for under $2000~$3000.
UPDATE 2:

Those aren't even tower speakers
What does that matter?
Wonder if i can pair my xbox controller via bluetooth n play?
An Xbox One controller (Bluetooth) should be able to pair with an Android device.
I'm not sure that would work on an iOS device without jailbreak.
Cool.....seems like they are doing the same with Xbox:

"We’re happy to announce today that in partnership with our friends at Microsoft, Fortnite will feature cross-play, cross-progression, and cross-purchase, between Xbox One, PC, Mac, iOS and (in the next few months) Android."
Yeah, so now there are two options for cross platform players:
Option 1 - Xbox One, PC, Mac, iOS and Android
Option 2 - PS4, PC, Mac, iOS and Android
It's a shame they couldn't have all of the systems together.
Sony doesn't want to do cross platform with MS. Holding back the gaming industry for no reason.
Yeah, I saw those tweets. I'm curious as to their reasoning.
@XboxP3 hi. I wanted to ask that can XB1 and PS4 players play together in Fortnite? We really want cross-play system between XB1 and PS4 :/

Man, that would be awesome! Can't wait to try it :)
The higher resolution would definitely help reduce the screen door effect and a higher refresh rate will allow for an overall smoother experience.
Hopefully the technology doesn't take too long to come to market. I suppose we'll hear more on May 22nd.
In 2017, Google planned to develop a next-gen OLED VR display with a leading OLED maker. This year, Google will be showing off this display at SID 2018 in May.
The AMOLED display is 4.3" in size, has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a high resolution allowing for 1443 PPI (pixels per inch).
The display is designed to offer a wide field of view, as such, the resolution might be approximately 5200x3380.

Display Size | 4.3" | 3.5" | 3.5" |
