I would suggest a thread where members could comment on the price of certain products.
For example Wilson Audio is often accused of using off the shelf parts and charging premium prices
Cables are often repackaged professional cables.
Before making accusations of price gouging we want to have some actual facts.
There are intangibles like research and development.
The Magico Q5 is an example. Are they chasing exclusivity or is it a realistic profit margin?
Maybe Radio Shack can do it for less? Hardly a consolation when it crumbles in your hand after a few weeks.
It could be something like the comments Jeff Fritz made on the Avalon speaker at the 2011 CES.
Is a single vinyl album worth $3.5k? Or a speaker worth $225k?
