[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 2758, member: 18"] For sure. I would wager that with the industry standard [edit] margin that the retailer gets and the usual [edit] the importer collects for their efforts to move the kit here from china (in most cases) most people would balk at the prices for many pieces of equipment. Not withstanding many hi-fi stores don't have it easy. If I were to go and tell what a pro-sound 18" woofer costs fully custom in runs of 250 and compare that to what you'd buy the equivalent JBL, Beyma, etc woofer for you'd likely keel over too. And if you know what the cost of manufacture was in say a run of >1000-3000 units you'd not take the cost seriously. I have been looking at the Yammy RXV 1600/2600 at the behest of a client of mine and in Dubai it sells for ~R7k and in the States it can be had for around R8k (this is before 14% VAT, 7% Ad Valorem and trouble getting it here) [/QUOTE]
