M700 MSRP/pair went from $2998 to recently $3298 or a 10% hike. Is that "huge" ? Maybe to some, but presently on sale for $2198/pair.
When I hear reviews that say one audio product "destroyed" another I have to wonder how crappy that other product must have been ;-)

Im referring to the original price
Original Price $2998 then $3298. 10%
OK, what Im thinking of... when they first came out you could buy them at dealer cost (40% off), then they did away with dealers and kept the savings
There may have been a time when some dealers sold off their inventory of PS Audio gear as PS Audio was going to a direct sales model. However, buying at dealer cost is not official pricing. It's just the price that some dealers may have been willing to let product go for IF they still had inventory on hand.M700 MSRP was originally $2998/pair and now $3298 5 years later. I wouldn't call that a "huge price hike". It's 10%.
For what it's worth, I think PS Audio made the right choice in canning all of their dealers. IMHO most dealers offer no value-add and trying to manage your dealer channel, territory, and brand value erosion from excess discounting can be a royal PITA.
Cary had the same problem. There was a time when it was easy peasy to get 30% off or more on Cary gear by shopping it around to see which dealers were willing to whore their goods.
To be fair, there are some good dealers out there and they can be useful especially if you're the type who requires (or enjoys) the hand holding and affirmation that you made the right purchasing decision.
