In Reply to: Interesting ELAC anecdote posted by ltman on January 16, 2024 at 20:46:44:
So, a $700/pair pair of loudspeakers usually has $140 a pair in parts and labor. The rest of it goes to:
1) Dealer Markup and perhaps Importer or Distributor Markup, and possible Sales Rep Commission
2) Manufacturer Overhead (the costs of doing business--salaries, rent, advertising, etc.)
3) Manufacturer Profit.
So, each speaker has a Build Budget of $70. Let's call it $25 for the cabinet and $25 for the drivers, and $20 for crossover, binding posts, the boxes, etc.
Now, perhaps they are cutting their margins and putting more money in the speakers.
But I am not shocked that the mid-woofer cost "only" $25.
