Cost of raw materials = Value???

The review specifically says :

"Fountek in China makes the original TL-R2 tweeter units. Tonian modifies the stock Fountek units including replacing the magnet and ribbons."

Replace the magnets and ribbons??? What's left of the original part? Someone has to take the time to do all of that deconstuction and reconstruction of the original part. That of course is time and labor, not to mention new parts cost. The work needs to be done somewhere under a roof and the parts need to be ordered. Some inventory needs to be on hand to do the work. That would be overhead and risk. And more time coordinating all of that.

And last but not least, someone had to spend the time to figure it all out in the first place, and then make it worth their while to manufacture it. The cost of the original Fountek part is hardly the total value of the finished product.

Maybe the info in the review was wrong?
