[QUOTE="Atjan, post: 823069, member: 2323"] You have to consider market size as well. Volumes for a specific brand is pretty low in SA, given the niche nature of hifi, low avg income and sky-high unemployment. The country economics are more or less inverted in the 1st world. As to comparisons re living expenses, let me suffice by saying that there are other indexes to look at rather than purely affordability: Quality of life, safety, etc. Again, affordability assumes you actually have an income, something that is not a given in SA, nor even something you can rely on for the majority of people. I would not discount the fact that there are plenty of unscrupulous people in business, who would happily rip you a new one if you buy from them. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
