How bad is speaker markup?

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Here is a link to an Eminence driver that cost $100 retail, but you can buy them for $20 because they are someone's mistake and everyone is still profiting.

So, Eminence made money of these speakers selling them to Dolby labs, so Eminence is the first to make profit of these speakers. Now Dolby Labs is selling them to madisound so Dolby Labs is not breaking even that is for sure, so they are the second to make money off these speakers. And now Madisound is selling them to you for $20 dollars and they are the third making money of these speakers and yet they are still only $20.

The truth is not what you want to hear but it is the truth most drivers cost less than dinner.

Most things in life are a scam and unfortunately most speakers are a scam save your money more importantly save your time do not waste it on speakers made by people that have one goal in mind making money off you.

Buy an Omni Mic and a DATS V3 or buy Clio pocket version 3 and design your own speakers your better off.

Drivers are the LEAST part of a typical speaker's cost - Brian H P 13:24:30 03/03/25 (8)

As regards DIY, not necessarily. DIY doesn't have to be designing your own speakers,... - MWE 05:22:29 03/06/25 (0)
