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 think so, too. Technically speaking, it is very interesting.

I wonder if Madisound's
margains vary according to the product they are selling.

I'm sure they do, as is normal in commerce.

There are major discounts on drivers when bought in large volumes. There's a
quote from Ken Kantor in the RAO archives, where he says that for $20 each
in large volumes, he could have virtually any 6.5 inch driver known to man.
