The Price of Lumber has gone up about 50% since COVID. The Cost to FRAME a house has gone up 25K-30K per house. So WHY are you surprised that a company that uses REAL wood...not compressed MDF crapola....is raising their prices to compensate for the additional cost to make their speaker?? Perhaps you should follow the commodity market so you understand about costs/inflation etc. Lumber is down this week BUT if the trend goes back the other way you should expect EVERY Speaker Manufacturer to jack up their prices if they havent already.

They are not big speakers so I suspect the lumber theory holds little water. There isn't enough lumber in the speakers to justify $3K, it also looks like the stands have not gone up so that also seems to debunk your theory. And for the record, you have no idea which markets I follow. He's just following the path of so many retailers who would rather sell one of something expensive rather than five of something less expensive. More power to him if he can make that business model work. |
I had a set for a few weeks. They are very good with poor recordings and can play very loud and clear. They weren’t nice enough in my system to keep. Here is a video I made with them: https://youtu.be/hFoneEceqSY |
