In Reply to: And another insanely priced Harbeth speaker posted by mbnx01 on July 24, 2012 at 12:32:03:
I think its a little unfair to single Harbeth out, because I see the same massive inflation across the board in the industry.
Speakers that cost $100,000? Come on now. No amount of drivers and particle board should cost that much (even if the marketing people make the speakers out to be created from jewels and precious metals...diamonds, gold, beryllium, platinum, alnico etc.).
I have tried to get my head around why the industry should have such massive inflation of product pricing over such a short time.
Does it reflect massive inflation in the ecomomy as a whole? The price of a bar of soap has only increased a few cents, the price of cars seems to be stable (and most are cheaper than many speakers now), the price of homes also seems to be either declining or remaining the same (how do you justify a loudspeaker that costs more than a house?).... I don't get it.
In comparison to what's going on with many of the other brands, the Harbeths (even after inflation) seem downright cheap.
