Kenjit and DHT4.me...and others.
Your comments are of great interest.
One implication is that driver cost does contribute significantly to high end speaker cost....I wonder again if the drivers used by Magico and Rockport are costlier and better than those used by Revel and B&W.
Another is that woofer enclosure inertness is very important....recall comments elsewhere that the B&W's ultra-rigid semi-ovate design is 'wasted' in comparison to standard rectilinear (or near so) configuration.
And I again ask if the greater R&D and volume-related production efficiency sometimes attributed to Revel and B&W (neither 'boutique manufacturers as perhaps viewed by high end and ? lower end users) translates into better value (approximately 50% lower cost of full range models)....or equivalent performance....in comparison to the Magico and Rockport offerings.
