Obviously he doesn't have a clue. He thinks Dick Pierce or Joe d'Appolito
will do crossover consulting work for $500. You can multiply that figure by
8-10X. He also leaves out the costs of crossovers, input terminals, wire,
fasteners, variovents, damping material, grille, documentation. Then there's
the little matter of shipping cartons and packing material. And never mind
the labor involved in assembly and testing. Given the cabinet design,
overall BOM costs on these has to be over $600, so I don't see these as
overpriced in the context of BOM cost to MSRP ratio. The simple question-to
be answered by the customer- is whether or not the design choices are
desirable at that price.
DO NOT argue with Bratzi. Someone more powerful than God is on his
side: der Fuhrer.
I guess that would explain why his cost analysis closely tracks with that of
a '39 Volkswagen.
