[QUOTE="Atjan, post: 130539, member: 2323"] I think bbe2 explains it nicely- 12% of the tag price is components and materials. Many manufacturers buy their drivers in from specialist driver manufacturers. It is for instance quite possible to get diy plans for 'clone' speakers which employ the same drivers and crossovers as a commercial speaker. You can quite conceivably build a R30 000 speaker for less than lets say R10 000. My Monitor Audio B2's for instance uses Audax tweeters than can be had for under $20 US each. New the complete set cost about R3k. Anyway, to build speakers you do need some skills, tools, time and the will to do it, which not everyone has. Hence, an MD, shareholders, designer, craftsman, courier, marketing dude and shop assistant can get paid. Which is probably not such a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
