@1971gto455ho Sure. SF speakers are woefully overpriced and that’s why nobody has purchased them. Just another pretty box.
They are pretty. Very much so. While I get that they might not be your cup of tea, the performance of the speaker is fully competitive with the others in their price range - even after the increase. I bought into the brand because i liked the sound. They’re more musical and easier on my ears than my previous, very highly rated and accurate speaker. They’re more musical than the other higher end brands sold by my local dealers to which I directly compared them.
Why is it not possible for some people to accept that we all have different tastes and biases - which is a good thing - as it’s made the industry adapt and provide increasingly competitive choices. You shouldn’t need me to like what you like to validate your purchase. And you shouldn’t need to denigrate a brand and those who’ve purchased their products just because it’s not what you would have done. Millions of people around the world have disagreed with their wallet.
On the business case - I’ll just defer to ghdprentice as he covers it well.
