These seem a bit pricey $$$

Saw Steve Guttenberg’s review of the Credo 900’s the other day. I realize there is a lot more involved in the cost of a speaker than parts costs - labor, insurance shipping, dealer margins. OK, that’s called business. But 12K for these?
Just seems a bit out of line.
No, I never heard them.  Maybe they're worth it.

no, you would sell as many as any other $50k speaker out there now.

If you priced the kef Ls50 for $50k and claimed it was world class, many rich audiophiles would buy it. If you priced a Magico at $400 and marketed it as a cheap speaker for people on a small budget, it would never be regarded as world class. It really is all perception.

Other companies do similar floorstanders from as little as a few hundred bucks and they have all the same costs such as shipping and labor to deal with. So of course its overpriced if it can be done for a fraction of the cost.

Kenjit, my bookshelf speakers measure flat from below 30Hz up to 20kHz (in room).
Using a Peerless HDS 6.5" in a ported box for the midbass.
Thats not impressive. A devialet phantom can do far better than that in an even smaller box.
