Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.


Just the other day, the G5’s were $36k and now they’re $43k!  I’m thinking it’s too soon for it to be tariffs.  Is Sonus Farber selling so many pairs that they’re just getting greedy?  Whatever the reason, an almost 20% price increase can’t be good for business.

Bose bought Sonus and apparently made the determination to charge more. This is the "new business model" used by private equity and rollup investors. Raise prices and cut value. No surprise here- we were all expecting this.  Now get ready for quality and or service cuts. 

@gano my comment that got deleted was about how the Amati G5 wasn't worth half the original cost already and them adding any more cost is charlatan behaviour 

How does that warrant a deletion? I didn't use any crass words unless charlatan hurts someone's feelings

The price increase was obviously necessary because SF speakers are being upgraded with higher quality Bose speaker drivers and crossovers.

Ha, ha

A cash grab to say the least. No doubt beautiful workmanship so if you want pretty and it’s your style it’s there. Sound wise there are many speakers available for considerably less with equal if not better performance. Do yourself a favour and look around you ‘will’ find pompous bragging rights can be very expensive.
