| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? With imported components, it has more to do with the middle men than the dealers and manufacturers, really...but the manufacturer sets the initial price, and the dealer can sell at whatever price he or she wants really. Anyway, I personally am not... | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? Photon46: I already addressed this: "I know there are bills to be paid, salaries, R&D, and what have you, yes. But, the numbers still don't add up or justify the high price in as you said, the cost of whatever component is to make."In my opini... | |
| "Best" 80's HiFi System Threshold was good stuff too. The SA/1s were one of the best amps of that era, imo. | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? Bill: Exactly right. You nailed each point perfectly. Great post. Allow me to add that the markups in many cases don't add up and or make sense. I know there are bills to be paid, salaries, R&D, and what have you, yes. But, the numbers still d... | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? Taters: Yes, you have to be careful when buying, because it is better to keep the product than sell. I don't see why you couldn't get the parts direct from Dynaudio or the dist. over there, but maybe not.It depends on the person when selling, some... | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? I see. No, I don't buy into it either. That stuff is a safe bet. Exactly, it's a free market. | |
| Las Vegas Ok the next meeting will be on 9-28-13 at LVAC member Kirk's place. For details and what not, feel free to email me anytime. Thanks for looking and for your support. | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? I suppose you could take it to an independent tech and have him or her rewire it, but if they don't know what they're doing and or don't even do the job, forget it. | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? Zavato: I know what you mean. That is exactly right and exactly my point as well. And no nothing illegal with doing that at all. The tricky part is with electronics and different voltages from say, Japan and Europe however. Some companies have a s... | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? Schubert: Pay who, the dist.? No, it wouldn't, because simply, no middle man to take a cut. | |
| Amp with best bass control Wow, must be nice to play around with all of that expensive equipment! | |
| "Best" 80's HiFi System Krell KSA-200, Krell KRS-2, B&W 801 Matrix series 2 *or* Apogee Diva. Top of the line Sony cd player, and SOTA Star Sapphire turntable. Nakamichi CR-7 cassette deck. | |
| Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe? I'd say because there's a middle man ie the distributor, instead of going from the factory direct to the dealer as the majority of audio products here in the US do. The distributor basically sets the price, and of course it's gonna be higher becau... | |
| Amp or phono pre + pre for better sound? It looks like I'm getting the phono preamp first. I'll keep all of you posted...thanks again. Any more comments are welcome. | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper Interconnect Tboooe: I believe just the raw copper and what have you overall. However, Neotech makes some of the cheaper cables in the AZ line. Perhaps it's just for the top of the line stuff that AZ assembles. There are only 2 companies that make and outsourc... |
