Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

two ways to price

1) Whatever the market will bear. Ayre. Mark Levinson and that 'Red Rose' chinese crap they priced THRU THE ROOF. I don't think Harbeth or Spendor really fit in this category, although as you know - I have my doubts about the Compact 7 pricing!

2) Build them, then add a reasonable profit to your costs. Magnepan comes to mind here. NAD. I don't think Magnepan or NAD, just to pick a few examples, would raise the price of a product five hundred dollars just because it got a good review in Stereophile.

Unfortunately option 1 has been growing in popularity with hi-fi manufacturers in the past ten years.
