RE: And another insanely priced Harbeth speaker

You also have to take into account mass production versus low production. One way to judge profitability is the return per year on a dollar invested. In mass production you can sell an item and take your profits multiple times per year. In high end audio the turn over is much less. Let's say you need to make 40 cents per year on a dollar. If you turn that dollar 10 times that's just 4 cents per sale. If you turn it once per year like often occurs in high end audio you need to make 40 cents per sale.
