I would like to share my thoughts with you. I realized that there exist countless German companies - and quite few Danish - that make extravagantly expensive hi-fi: loudspeakers range with median prices in the order of 30-50 KEuro, amps costing no less than 8-10Keuro etc. (Americans may also have several companies that sell very expensive but they do also have numerous boutique companies that make novel products at devent prices).
Now you guys being a powerhouse in hifi - I mean UK - have managed to make serious components selling in much more reasonable prices - apart from few flagship models from few companies that are very pricey too.
What is the main reason for that? Do Germans (and Danes) have a technological edge - and UK does not?
Is it the hype they build upon?
Or is it that they are small companies having invested in yearly costly research?
Or they buy exotic materials to build their products?
Really I don't understand. It is as if these companies discard modeslty priced hifi and deal only with outwardly components.
Curious to find out what you think.
