Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: two ways to price

Part of 'the problem' with speakers imported into the US is that you have (1) production cost - parts and labor plus (2) producer's profit, which is (3) importer/distributor cost, including shipping and his profit, resulting in (4) dealer's cost, including shipping and his profit yielding (5) retail price. So you've got five steps. So if you want to talk about what a fair retail price for a Harbeth Compact 7 should be in the U.S., divide what you consider a fair retail price by 5 and see what's available for production. If the eucalyptus 7's are 4,000, then parts and labor are $800. That's for two speakers. Fair?

If you buy speakers built in the U.S., you'll save around 20%, theoretically.
