Many a times, you talk with a dealer and they order and deliver the product. So you spend 10k on a pair of speakers. Seems very simple to do by a high end dealer. And most often done without an Instore visit. So how much are they making?
When I sold Audio in the 70's and early 80's, the margin on speakers was anywhere between 40 and 55% The speakers that came in at 40% were usually the lower priced speakers that were brand names but built on a tight margin. The more expensive speakers usually came with a higher margin. This applied to speakers only. Margins on electronics peaked at about 40%
