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.

@kofibaffour that's nice :)

Somehow I have no illusions that my post will be back. I know why, I know who.... devil

The ARC story is about the specifics in one case of development in the high end audio arena. I did not know any specific  numbers of hours on anything from Sonus Faber speaker development. But I am sure it is similar, it demonstrates the huge investment that goes into high end audio equipment. 
 

The amount of effort… since very large number of change and listen cycles are involved with engineers with very specific skills… like they can hear nuanced voicing and have the musical experience to understand the objective. 

hmmm, gouging ? resist with your wallet- if people stop buying at absurd price points, prices decrease.
