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

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. 

Without a doubt the Covid thing opened the door to price gouging. There was disruptions in all areas but many opportunistic gouging mother ……s were born. Covid is long gone few if any reversed their excessive charges. SF is no different except in my opinion they weren’t worth the money in the first place. Outside the Uber pretty woodwork the sound quality was achieved by many for far less. Outside of pompous bragging rights for a select view there isn’t an endless list of younger folks willing to drop the coin for priceless end tables. Enter the reason for company selling in the first place, make the product develop a following watch the market and get out before the pendulum swings away. Companies like Bose control the market if they own the line share, not really caring about the old farts that bran boast.

Cynical ? Certainly you’re not suggesting people that choose not to purchase a product are dumb. I would think a hearing preference would play a role, whether having the funds or not is a moot point. I am sure that selling a company does require the input from many but I’m also sure that the sale such as SF was a lucrative deal, satisfying most. Price gouging only works with commodities that are mandatory ?? That would cut out a huge percentage of the supposedly smarter population, unless one lives in a bubble the evidence is everywhere.
