I hope that in this case, a fair price for LM Audio items can be found and maintained (inflation notwithstanding).
I think these items, being replicas of some WE items have an important part to play in maintaining the sonic cultural heritage we all now share (through the history of film and sound) and that our hobby's sustainability is at least partially established by attracting and keeping a sizeable audience for these items - ie buyers.
I don't think $9K is too expensive *for these items and their anticipated ability*. There are certainly cheaper options (admittedly, not many field-coil drivers). But for those of us who set as much stock by a system's ability to communicate the inherent nature of a performance as well as just the tunes - and have come to love field-coils as a consequence - modern opportunities are few and far between. Hopefully prices won't balloon.
