And another insanely priced Harbeth speaker

Posted by mbnx01 on July 24, 2012 at 12:32:03:
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.
