Just wondering why this very highly regarded bookshelf speaker has come down by nearly £200 nearly everywhere? Seems particularly odd in these inflationary times. Could it be it was not selling very well at rrp?
Could mean something new is imminent.Just wondering why this very highly regarded bookshelf speaker has come down by nearly £200 nearly everywhere? Seems particularly odd in these inflationary times. Could it be it was not selling very well at rrp?
But these are about 18 months old aren't they?Could mean something new is imminent.
Probably less than that. Earliest review I can find is January this year....But these are about 18 months old aren't they?
They do make quite a big thing about the enhancements in the build quality and crossover isolation.potential buyers are struggling with the considerable price rise over the 20’s.
small standmount speaker prices have always been pretty volatile as more manufacturers tend to make them and are fairly swift in issuing updatesSurely QA are a well-established brand at the enthusiast level for those in the know. But it's not just them, I see the Dynaudio emit 20 can also be had for a £200 discount.
It's weird, pricing is crazy. Dali Oberon 5 came out in 2019 and were about £550. I nearly got a pair of those but I blinked and they'd gone up to £750. The standard price now seems to be £850.
And then there's your Rubicon 2, Al ears. I'm sure these were about £13/1400 not so long ago. What are they now? £1800?small standmount speaker prices have always been pretty volatile as more manufacturers tend to make them and are fairly swift in issuing updates
Obviously proving very popular, supply and demand featuring a lot here I feel.And then there's your Rubicon 2, Al ears. I'm sure these were about £13/1400 not so long ago. What are they now? £1800?
desperate times for dealers and manufacturers alike it would seem.Just checked, there's a bit of a pattern emerging here. The Rubicon 2 are back down to £1399 at several retailers. These are indeed strange times. Discretionary product pricing, and I'm sure we'd agree that hifi falls into that category, seems pretty volatile at the moment!
