And a lot things come into play; ie:
employee salaries, their health care, insurance, etc.,
Retooling, overtime to keep up with orders etc.,
Jim Winey may be frugal but he's no fool. He takes care of his crew. Evident in the since that he could've 'easily' sent his designs overseas, and assembled by folks who probably make $2 a day; shipped back here and sold for tens of thousands more (the $12K 20.1 [original price] can hold their own against ANY >$20k product.....easily).
But the man had a vision. And I'm sure his vision statement early on was to make a product worthy enough to be called the 'best' but also within the grips of the masses, the 'music lovers'.
Unfortunately his vision is a dying breed in this World of greed (noting wrong with capitalism; but I'll digress).
FORTUNATELY they call their own shots and don't have to kiss 'big coporate' asses from stock and shareholders who only give a $h*t about their own portfolios.
Bravo Magnepan!
