"a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio"

OK, is there such a thing as "too good to be true"?  They're definitely gorgeously beautifully looking and certainly at least as good looking as any "high-end" speakers!  But look at the price!  Only $374.00!!!  Can you have the cake and eat it too!  There has to be a catch!  Is there a devil lurking somewhere here!  I mean a high-end ScanSpeak woofer is already at least $370.00 in cost.  And that does not take into account a tweeter, and xover inductors, capacitors ... and so on.  And what do you tell people who paid $200K for a Wilson?

The average markup is 10x to drivers. It is much higher if drivers are made in house (Focal, B&W, Monitor Audio), and depending on the brand (thinking of Gamut and Wilson).


I think the $370 is per speaker. So, at most, the driver cost is $37 / speaker.


Make of that what you will, but maybe this is the year you build a pair of DIY speakers???



Best,
