Searching around, I found a street price of more like $1500.

This is a sub/sat powered system including a passive volume control. Last
time I priced the tweeters the one-up price per unit was $58 per. My
recollection of the woofer pricing was something like $150 per. Oh, and
there are three power amps.

This is a complete system including subwoofer, all power amps and a separate
passive volume control (so-called passive preamp).

So the rough-estimate Madisound bill of materials would sum up something
like this:

2 tweeters @ 58 $116
3 woofers @ 150 $450
3 amps @ 200 $600

Total Madisound rough estimate parts cost: $1166
Your Mail Order price $1495

Go figure.

I'm sure Madisound has to make a profit too, but at the same time, this looks
like a pretty cool system. I wonder if Madisound's margains vary according to
the product they are selling.
