| Why pay so much? Sub speakers that are $1,000 should cost like $250-300 and get 1,000%+ margins.The same goes for other "cheaper" alternatives of processors and amplifiers.If a Dayton Audio (Parts Express brand) had their affordable $30-50 drivers used in speakers... | |
| Why pay so much? Glupson - you don’t have to build these speakers yourselves.I’m saying they are making 10,000%+ margins on speaker sales.If people wouldn’t pay it, they’d drop to 500%. And at that price, nothing would cost more than $5,000 from any companies.Put ... | |
| Why pay so much? Okay, lol, I feel like your being funny and egging me on now, lol.In the purest intentions, $30,000 speaker wire for $300, with 1,000% margins, $100,000 speakers for $4,000 with 1,000% margins, and processors and amplifiers for no more than $1,000... | |
| Why pay so much? Glupson - I made a compelling argument on price gauging and margin rip offs, and you're fighting for margins?Do you own a audio company?The market wouldn't shrink from 5 to 6 speaker wiring or loud speaker companies. I'm sure there'd still be 10+... | |
| Why pay so much? Glupson - I do believe that was a ridiculous rebuttal, lol.You just said you think people are willing to be ripped of and like it.If you asked people if they would be willing to get their wiring for 99% off? 99% of people would say the affirmative... | |
| Why pay so much? The same thing goes for eveything in audio. Speakers? The really good ones uses 3rd party drivers. The crossovers, drivers and cabinets cost to build cost under $500 for even the 200 lb monsters. Do the best speaker drivers that costs a few dollar... | |
| Why pay so much? I’m just saying, that it’s a herd like mentality. That if several people are willing to pay $1,000-50,000 for wiring that companies will sprout up to take advantage of consumers fears that they aren’t hearing the music and movies the way they supp... | |
| Why pay so much? Lololololol.You think a cable sales person is trustworthy?Lol.Lololololol.Okay.I see we don't see eye to eye on this.Hopefully I made people think differently about their hobbyThanks for your time.- Andy | |
| Why pay so much? I fail to see how if you’re rich, that you can’t be taken advantage of, lol. And while you’re at it, because you can afford to spend $70k on wire, why not buy a $500 latte, or a $1,000 12" subway meatball sandwich, because in terms of margins, tha... | |
| Why pay so much? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Just say I’m a troll, when in reality, I’m just trying to create awareness that I don’t think people have as much as they think they do. Belden probably spent 100 times the amount on researching and developing Belden Brill... | |
| Why pay so much? Belden Brilliance. An almost $3 billion dollar company who sells their products to NASA. If I'm not mistaken, 99.99% pure copper.If I'm not mistaken, inductance is very "important" in a wire along with capacitence.$1 a foot in some places. Get... | |
| Why pay so much? You know what I don't get? Is everyone called me a troll, when in reality, no one really said or could refute that $1,000+ cables are using like $10 worth of copper, $10 worth of silver, and really fancy $3 worth of cable jackets, and expensive f... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? I’m just going to guess to everyone in here is GOP first you guys don’t believe in climate change and now you’re suckers for an insane incorrect hobby. I just know this is a GOP hang out I can tell. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? The point is there should be no 6 figure home audio or even 5.There is no other industry with mark ups like this. The only thing even similar without extensive research and development costs and big mark ups is matresses but home audio makes their... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Sounds real audio...scan Speak has been around since 1970 and spends just as much on their research and development. They’re under an umbrella that also owns audio technology (skanning) and dynaudio. Their drivers are used in commercial designs co... |
