Jcbtubes...great point...and one I failed to mention...the majority of cost in hi-end products are R&D and labour...not material costs...you are essentially buying a hand-made product by very skilled engineers...these are the "intangibles" when buying good gear...many newbies balk when looking at 2k monitors for example...but when u factor in design,quality,and performance...it begins to make more sense...Are all hi-end products deserving of a high pricetag? Ofcourse not...there will always be inflated products that offer sub-par performance...but those that have done research...or encounter an educated sales rep(there are still some out there)...will avoid these pitfalls...
Also...buying very hi-end audio/video is like buying any luxury item...if the buyer and seller cant strike a deal...the consumer walks...that is his perogative...there is no need to bash the dealer for not meeting your price...or for complaining that the margins are 2 high...nobody is putting a gun to your head to buy this stuff///
