Look, I love Harbeths. I own a pair. But their prices have been crazy for years and getting crazier.

I see the new 30.1 is almost six grand in nice finishes like ebony.

SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS.

This is an 18" tall monitor with a tweeter and a woofer.

What can possibly justify these prices? Performance? Status? Certainly there is not six grand physically there.

This is 'what the market will bear' pricing and I think it's unfortunate that companies do this.

Not so!
US and CA dollars are at par.
Other models in Harbeth line are same price in CA as US.

Look at my recent thread at top of Speaker Asylum.
Something is weird here.

The US vs UK is acurate. The US vs CA changes. but 5 to 10 years ago the US vs CA was .85
