| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @8th-note Some excellent points. Which is why I asked the OP, when is the price simply too high? Perhaps the answer is at a far higher price point than has been entertained by the industry so far. Question becomes what that price point is..and fo... | |

| Borresen X3 at Axpona @audiotroy while you may believe that Michael Borrenson is a genius in creating advanced drivers, even he cannot ignore basic physics laws. | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona One of the things that is common in speaker design, or so it would appear, is that designers seem to like adding a few small diameter woofers, versus a few larger diameter drivers. Yet, it is a pretty well known fact that the ability to push air h... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Part of my OP came from a recent discussion that I had with a very very well heeled friend who can easily afford anything in high end audio. To this gent, a multi million dollar system is no strain on the pocketbook. What interested me was his com... | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. @mike_in_nc Good point, hadn't thought of that, LOL. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @steakster While you are correct in alerting folks to the many costs incurred by manufacturers, i also question where the process is when it comes to a speaker ( maybe any speaker/ high end product at this price point) that comes in at a consumer... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @labguy while I think your math is not quite correct for this particular speaker, as it leaves out a number of factors, including the R&D costs, shipping, advertising, dealer mark up etc., I do think that it is likely that there is a very sign... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @jl35 That business model is common. Question is whether a product in this hobby can be so high priced, that the result is zero sales? Or,not enough sales to justify the product and its cost to come to market? I do wonder if these questions even o... | |
| Franco Serblin Ktêma Loudspeakers I don’t own them, but they were one of Franco’s better designs, and that says a lot. | |
| Goodbye Everyone @dogberry LOL, nice example. SHF is one place I will no longer be wasting my time at. | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers I think you answered your own question when you brought up the position of the tweeter, If the tweeter is at ear height, then demising that position with upending the speaker would not be beneficial, but if an improvement can be had with upending,... | |
| Review: Audio Research D-70 mkII Tube amp One thing I agree with @esporma … the sound of the ARCD70 mk2 is fabulous. I still miss this amp to this day. It really made a great impression on me, and IF one can live with its idiosyncrasies, one of the best low powered amps I have heard. | |
| Goodbye Everyone As I discovered again today, there are some forums that just are not worth wasting your time with, for a number of reasons. Luckily, this one seems to be an exception, so far. | |
| Review: Audio Research D-70 mkII Tube amp @esporma if I remember correctly, the biasing didn’t just require one to adjust the power tubes to 65mv, but also to adjust other parameters as well, for which you did need a scope. Also, according to my tech, the opportunity for one to get zappe... |
