With all due respect sir, you obviously don't understand my point.
I'm wondering why the R&D etc is being dismissed so lightly for these speakers. Why are people focusing on the individual component cost so much more than they do for other speakers?
Thanks I understand your point more clearly now (and appreciate the sir) ;-).
I'm still not sure a comparative analysis of cost for other speakers with the same driver compliment, while stripping away a chunk of the total cost is a good way of measuring total worth or markup. In the end it's all subjective...
