WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value


wilson ad; absolute sound;issue 162. page 12.... dave wilson states in his ad that wilson loudspeakers have one of the [ lowest ] profit margins in the industry. My question is should wilson make public their profit margin percentage's to back up their claims or is this more hyperbole from a high-end audio manufacturer...

there is a difference between cost of goods margin and profit margin....the latter includes all expenses including that ad....i love wilson threads
hikejohn's cost analysis is quite accurate......i think the heat wilson takes is more about 'performance for the money' rather than profit margin.....a diminished return in this area of course is true with most expensive audio components.......today's advertising campaign focusing on workmanship, performance and low margin seems quite bizarre, given how long they've been around and their wide acceptance as a market leader......ads are generally intended to attract new customers, but these appear to be preaching to the choir.
