..., thanks for the link. Although I do not agree with few of your conclusions (surprise?) but the core of the problem caught quite illustratively. A few days ago a local guy called me and complained that his $22.000 2-channel loudspeakers use a cheap (I have to add improperly designed and sounding) woofers with retail price around $200 per driver and he was also very “fascinated” with the fact that his 9.000 subwoofer uses an amplifier that is available as an over-counter kit for $150. I am not stressing that the price differents is too ridicules but I would love to pressure that fact that the same $300-retail (~100 wholesale) worth loudspeaker could be perfectly packed into $500 product and it will be performing absolutely identical to the $22.000 hi-end gismo. In fact most of the cheap $500 speakers do overperform thier blown-off hi-fi competitors.
