In Reply to: And another insanely priced Harbeth speaker posted by mbnx01 on July 24, 2012 at 12:32:03:
You sure seem to have something stuck in your craw when it comes to the price of Harbeth & Spendor speakers.
A couple of thoughts.
1. Unlike many of their competitors, they haven't switched manufacturing to Asia.
2. At $6K, they aren't cheap, but are certainly priced nowhere near the dozens upon dozens of speakers that cost in excess of $10K or even $100K and more. "Insane" is a speaker that costs hundreds of thousands, not six.
3. Parts are only a portion of the production and distribution cost of a product.
4. If you want maximum cheapness in a consumer product, you need high volume or cut corners. Not every manufacturer chooses that route.
5. Things cost what they cost, in spite of what we otherwise wish. We always have the option to buy something else if we don't approve of a particular manufacturer's approach.
6. Perhaps you need to write Alan Shaw and explain to him what he's doing wrong.
