Yeah, I know, but there's likely a lot going on here. Reynaud Twins were $995 not too long ago and the reason they're now $1895 (my doing), is so that everyone in the chain can make something. When I passed off the job of importer a month or two ago, I was making about $150 on Duets when I sold them to my dealers, after paying export price, shipping to US from France, duty, and port charges. And the standard Compact 7's aren't $4000, they're around $3500 if Gene Rubin's price is current. My guess is, as John Marks suggests, they were priced a bit low to begin with, probably to get the marque better known. And both the Euro and pound jumped a year or so ago (?), though they have settled down now. When the Twins were $995, the Euro was around $1.15 and now it's around $1.40. Anyway, as you say, no one is forcing anyone to buy Harbeths (or Reynauds). And there is a built-in resistance to paying a lot of money for what many still consider 'just a hobby.'
