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

@foggyus91 I can afford them and your comment is rooted in unfounded assumption. I’m not giving a mediocre brand with mostly overpriced speakers that have show room sound and great cabinetry my business and thank God I didn’t after getting sucked in by the beauty of their exterior. Their sound DOES not match that woodwork for most of their line. Not bad speakers but nothing wowed me

Not the gotcha you think it is. I do not need to flaunt that I have bought a speaker here or there. I’m more than happy with my system and if I got these or any Sonus Faber, I’d have done my ears a disservice

Audiogon why are you deleting comments? I didn't insult the OP or anyone in the comments. WTF

the speaker itself isn't even worth half the cost. that's how ridiculous the pricing is. Just charlatan behaviour @curiousjim 

and when they end up being bankrupt, they throw their hands in the air and cry for a big company to buy them out

@gano my comment that got deleted was about how the Amati G5 wasn't worth half the original cost already and them adding any more cost is charlatan behaviour 

How does that warrant a deletion? I didn't use any crass words unless charlatan hurts someone's feelings

@rsf507 understandable tbh

@gano it has been reinstated mysteriously.

Here is it:
