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

Because they can.

@kofibaffour Audiogon does not look at your comment and then deletes it. Someone flags it and then it gets deleted. On a few occasion I asked the admin why my comment was deleted as IT DID NOT break any of the rules, and the answer was: it was flagged. No other reason is required.

I did not see what was deleted but maybe you said unfavorable things about Sonus Faber. If that was the reason, then this would be the end of the forum as the whole point is to read and exchange opinions and different views.

Bose bought Sonus and apparently made the determination to charge more. This is the "new business model" used by private equity and rollup investors. Raise prices and cut value. No surprise here- we were all expecting this.  Now get ready for quality and or service cuts. 

@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
