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


Just the other day, the G5’s were $36k and now they’re $43k!  I’m thinking it’s too soon for it to be tariffs.  Is Sonus Farber selling so many pairs that they’re just getting greedy?  Whatever the reason, an almost 20% price increase can’t be good for business.

All of you guys saying price gouging, greed etc.. are way off.  Tariff pricing is just starting to hit .  So if you want products wherever it comes from there is a universal tariff affect that will be passed along unless its an exempt country.  Additionally Logistics and component costs have increased as the world economy figures out US Tariffs.   Like the previous poster I am actually in the business myself and increases are just starting from many brands.  If you want a product don't wait chances are prices are going up shortly.  Of course, Trump could wake up and take all tariffs off or he could raise them 100% on Italy because some radio host said Italy was bad, who knows.

As someone intimately involved with manufacturers in Audio , CE and computing the conversations every day are how to navigate this disaster.
