Sopra No.2 Overpriced?

Actually compared to other speakers in that price range, I think the Sopra 2's are underpriced.  Before buying mine, I've been auditioning other similar priced speakers.  I liked the Joseph Audio Perspective quite a bit until I heard the Sopra.  
Listen to a pair that have been broken in for at least 400hrs, using good electronics and cables and then decide for yourself if they're overpriced compared to the competition.  They improve dramatically after a proper break-in period.  Mine went thru several phases during their break-in period.  They sounded OK out of the box initially, then started to sound like I made the wrong choice for a month or so.  Only recently (5 months & approx 400hrs), have they settled into their own.

They are awesome Speakers and well worth $14,000.

I hear good things about the sound, but as far as I know they are made out of painted pressboard.  The Magico S1 MK II's are the real deal, but I doubt they sound at all alike.  They have their own colorations, see if they suite you. 

To say something is "over priced" or not, only the marketplace determines that.

My friends who consider Bose to be "high end audio" are shocked at how much my equipment costs...so to them it's all "over priced".

When I took Econ100 back in the day the professor said "how much is something worth...it's what people are willing to pay"...

I would venture to say that any gear made in china is over-priced. We all know how "cheap" the labor force in that country.

jafant, in my experience most companies strive to make as much profit as the markets will allow.  The advent of the labor unions in the U.S. gave workers more leverage here.  Think of all the IT jobs outsourced to India.  India's compensation for IT professionals, job for job, is way below our standards.
