I knew a manufacturer of tube amps about 20 years ago who made 400 watt TRIODE monoblocks for $10,000 a pair. The dealers asked them to put on a fancier front plate, call it a MK2 and double the price because they could sell MORE of the fancier package. Part of the problem was the price was too low for the performance. But these guys were honest and didn't change. Too bad, they might still be around.

LOL, yeah. I learned the meaning of "Veblen good" on this site. And with the middle class pinched, it seems that manufacturers have been more pressed than ever to sell into the luxury good market.
Fortunately, there are still some companies that refuse to play in that space, and you can put together a great system for amazingly little.
That story is not rare and its driven by the same customers crying about prices ....
