hello looking at the bw cm10, does anyone own them ?

uk price £2999

usa price at best buy $1999

rip of britain and this is a uk product

I would love to know the logic behind the pricing? Perhaps the shift way more units the other side of the pond? Even at that, seems we're being asked to assume the position.

 

[bluedroog]

While they'll still be a price disparity don't US shops list price without tax?

 

[alienmango]

makes sense to go on holiday and bring them as "luggage"......

economy here is #### and everything is expensive...

That is priced each by the way.

I'm in Canada and any HiFi from the UK usually has a premium on it so it's not as bad as you think

Firstly, as already mentioned, many online prices exclude taxes. Also, a lot of places advertise speakers singularly, not as pairs. And another thing to check is whether that $1999 is a reduced price for some reason, or rrp.

Yes, US price is for a single speaker:

I'm glad we've put that one to bed

If anyone wants to question anything, ask why the government needs a whole £600 from a sale of CM10s....

Subsidised bar in the house of commons.

And the government is considering increasing alcohol prices for the rest of us.

You couldn't make it up..... :wall:

That price is each speaker so US$4,000 so not so much of a bargain and you prob have to add 10% sales tax, so not much difference. Usually UK speakers in USA are more expensive, believe Kef LS50S are $1,500.
