[QUOTE="siphiwe, post: 133, member: 12"] I think it's time we bandied together and opened a high turnover AV shop or two :wink:.Skinny, as said above...I lack some important facts to back up my argument but, I think we cannot compare the throngs of people buying R2999 HTIB sets with the a X.1 channel speaker box set from manufacturer A + Receiver box from manufacturer B, DVD player from C type of system. These are two completely different sections of the market. I don't believe the person who buys a HTIB set for a shade under 3k is going to be willing to spend R10k for a component system(that's just over 3 times). I think what we should be comparing is a similarly specced component system from a parallel/grey importer and another one from ripoffs anonymous. That would be fair. I think the entry to mid-level is priced quite competitively already, maybe because of the favourable current exchange rates. Perhaps what we need is more competition at the high-end of the market. There, I believe we're simply paying too much. PS. I think you're being a tad too cautious with your litigation fears, however I'll edit my previous post accordingly. [/QUOTE]
