In Reply to: RE: Harbeth prices always go up, never down. So why did the P3ESR have a $300 price drop? posted by BCR on July 10, 2015 at 15:34:09:
This is what they USED TO BE - $2395, just like I said.
Oh, and the Stirling price going up six hundred bucks? Stirling is imported by the Harbeth importer. He is SCREWING WITH THAT COMPANY IN ORDER TO PROTECT HIS HIGHLY PROFITABLE HARBETH SALES.
The Harbeth goes down three hundred bucks while they nearly identical Stirling GOES UP six hundred bucks? Sorry, it's not shipping costs.
It's the importer. He's making an easy 12% OVER a reasonable profit on the Harbeth line, more on some models.
But the LS50, widely popular at $1500 was cutting into that part of the market which meant he could not charge his ridiculously inflated prices on that speaker any more. Don't worry, he'll make it up with every Compact 7, 30.1, or SHL5 he sells.
