Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers


Magico has just debuted its new model...the M9. Weighing in at 1000 Lbs ( pity those who have to move it) and being almost 8' tall!
Luckily, they are bringing this speaker in at a bargain basement price designed to appeal to the masses...and unlike the other models in their line, financing won't be needed. Yes, for just $750,000- you can own one of these new models. 
This is certainly looking like the new 'norm' for many speaker manufacturer's. Luckily most of us have this as pocket change...luckily.

@mike_in_nc companies in countries that don't have direct tariffs imposed on them have still been hit with materials cost increases because of the global impact those trade changes have had.

For example, even if you made everything from US materials in a US factory your costs would have increased because changes in competition allowed US suppliers to increase their prices.

Another example is a product that sources materials from a country where global economics have resulted in price increases (possibly moving between multiple countries as the material is processed) before final assembly in a country and into a product that is not itself subject to tariffs.

I suspect the rebalancing of international shipping costs is actually more fair now, but has resulted in higher costs for US consumers because it was unfairly beneficial for US imports instead of exports before.
The nice thing about something that costs that much is that almost no one will ever hear them in a situation where they can really tell if they're great.  No dealers will have them on display.  Anybody can claim anything they want about them.  They are primarily vanity products that appeal to people who care more about having stuff that others can't than whether the performance is actually better than something that costs 95% less.  
@rocray  Only good so long as you are on the third floor with non-re-enforced flooring joists.
