not sure what basis that is being made on. if theres some proof of this post it here, otherwise its just hear say i would suggest. the usa price of these 140k usd each ! so 280k usd a pair... if you think upscale is buying these at 50k USD (75kAUD) a pair and selling them at 280k usd a pair ... id suggest anyone saying thats the case is on some very serious drugs

 

Believe what you may, makes absolutely no difference to me. I am not going to reveil my insiders source of my information. Precise sales numbers, raw import costs etc are commercially very confidential material. I reveal only enough to inform the public audience as to what is going on behind the scenes, but not having my source being named and then denying me further privileged information..

I dont need to believe anything .. unless faced with some actual facts. I am not seeing ANY in the above statement ... 

 

all i am seeing here is bull dust quite frankly...smoke and mirrors ... probably from someone on some 70s psychedelic trip or something ..cant imagine what else  

 

anyone can claim anything ... matters not one iota...... 

 

hey i reckon they bring them in at $50 bucks a pair  yeah why not !  I wont reveal my sources  it's quite commercially confidential and it's quite privileged information ! 

 

what we do know are some facts ... the USD price is $280k which translates to some $426k aussie not factoring any import duties, charges or local taxes... that seems pretty close to the RRP addicted to audio list at $450k aud and yes they are quite a bargain in that regard with what they have them listed at $156k aud a pair... you definitely cant buy these any where in this world i dont think at that price.. no matter what anyone might be landing them at $5k, $50, or $500, $5000, $50,000 or what ever ...

 

whether they are something someone sees as value is a another thing. people buy all sorts because they see as value ... or all sorts of other reasons... we have already seen what you have posted as your own reasons and clearly you will never be a customer of these kind of things with that sort of perspective so can under stand where you are coming from.

Equal 'retail' price parity across countries, tells you nothing about the raw import costs of these speaker.

Yes, let it be I'm on psychedelics

As long as you're a happy retail customer, is all that's important in the end. Enjoy the music.

At the risk of raising this thread from the dead, I see that the Nait 5 amp and CD player have dropped to $1475 each. They were at $1770.

Haven't checked the others.

Here we go, all of the haters will be back with their pitchforks!

 

I would have bought a nice pair of speakers if I have any money.
