I have been searching for speakers as well and have been able to find prices for the most part. The ones I have a hard time or never found the price fall into the "if you have to ask you can't afford it" crowd. One way you might try neo is look for reviews of the models you are interested in most times they will have the MSRP in the article which can give you a good reference point. If the review is an older model, year or two old, expect the new model to be about the same price.
Why so few speakers have their price listed online
Hi,
For the last couple of days, I have been trying to research which speakers cost how much and which are in my budget. To my dismay, very few speaker companies put the price of their speakers online. And if I try to track the dealer websites, they too provide a phone number to make a call and not the price.
Why don't the speaker manufacturers make the whole process of buying more transparent? Now I get the feeling that if I try to buy their speakers, they will charge me more.
Although I must say that some manufacturers do so. But they are fewer in number. The same is true for most speakers related components like amps etc.
This is the exact opposite of headphones, where generally you expect the price for all components to be listed online.
