[QUOTE="Stereosane, post: 1060773, member: 15006"] Pricing is a big issue as it's never advertised, but I've found that the price you pay and the price someone else pays on local goods differs a lot.. I can think of a few local products that has many varied prices depending on who the customer is, eventually word spreads and you realize you paid a different price from another forum member.. that leaves a bitter taste in ones mouth.. sometimes the local manufacturers are to willing to drop pricing for a quick sale when times are hard other items are tweaked for the individual customer which puts a lot of the same product out there but with many differing versions of it so it's hard as a customer to say that is the sound signature of that model unless you know what went into it.. Take Sf or B&W you know if you hear the Olympica it will be the same Olympica as every other one made, there is consistency and a house sound which makes it a lot easier to identify with the brand. I've bought a good few local products, it was a 50/50 mix, two guys really stick out locally and the rest have left a very very bitter taste in my mouth...which doesn't really do any good for local is lekker.
