Labs accountants/owners "lets see i can order 5K of this capacitor for $5/each...thats ...$25K...or I can oder this cap at $40 each, thats....$200K....I think I'll get the $5 cap. Who's gonna know the difference anyway..."
I'm afriad this takes place more often than not.
How many of us either
1) have actually seen with our eyes, the Xover in our speakers
2) know the brands of the parts used, and if its "run-of-the-mill" cheapis or best that money can buy.
I just looked at Madisounds web, and there seems to be from cheap to expensive. Hopefully we do not pay $$$ for a speaker and they are using cheapo parts. Its rare thata lab tells you what parts they use.
We need to take this hooby to a new level. Labs need to be forthcoming as to parts used. I want to know what I'm paying for, don't you?
