Actually if you think about it say the drivers do cost $300, add in cabinet costs, just spitballing, $400, labor, overhead, etc you get to $2200 pretty quickly. A guy like Fritz doesn't have the economies of scale of a larger producer so those parts costs are likely even higher. If you want to look at the cost of something look at the total cost don't just look at one thing.
Poor Fritz
There’s no better value and no one as willing to make bespoke speakers out there than Fritz and these forums treat his speakers as if they cost $200K.
They don’t. They are remarkably affordable and yet potential customers put him through the absolute ringer, asking for custom features, going through 2 or 3 models of home auditions and maybe not even buying any of them.
Look, you buy what you want to buy, but I think not enough credit is given to the man or his speakers in terms of the overall value proposition and I think this is a disservice overall. If you write a 5 page review, please keep this very much in mind that you are not reviewing Wilson or Focal's flagships. Maybe he doesn't deserve quite the same scrutiny.
