Thirty five hundred dollars is a hard-sell for a 2-way 8" bookshelf speaker. Granted, it is a VERY, VERY, GOOD 2-way 8" bookshelf speaker. But $3500?

I tend to think this is in part because of the popularity of this brand in the Asian markets. When you can sell your production somewhere that status-conscious and brand-sensitive customers with high disposable income will pay a LOT of money for it...why not? It works out good for Wilson Audio.

        I agree that Harbeths look really expensive relative to what they look like - suits_me 23:37:37 05/14/08 (1)
