[QUOTE="Scotty2Naughty, post: 6872039, member: 562110"] I get sick of people complaining about DDs pricing, just because they are too expensive for YOU (and me for that matter) to buy new doesn't mean that they are priced too expensively. DD is not stupid, they have their niche, they are selling woofers and they are making money. They have their prices where they are at for a reason. Whining on an internet forum is not going to change their prices, if they see a drop in sales or profits maybe they will lower the prices, some guy whining on an internet forum is never going to make them drop their prices. Also the discussion on the price vs performance on the DDZ is ridiculous, obviously there are diminishing returns on everything and the DDZ is pretty much at a point where the performance is pretty diminished. The DDZ is not targeted at some kid that wants to get as loud as possible for as little money as possible. The price of an DDZ is minimal for a lot of these competitors that spend hundreds and hundreds of hours building, testing and retesting to squeeze every ounce of performance out of a build. It makes no sense to spend so much time and effort on all of the other aspects and then skimp on the woofer. DD knows this and put out the best woofer it could for these customers. For an average guy I doubt they would notice the difference of the composite cone vs the paper cone but for a guy that is competing and everyone else has composite cones I doubt he is going to give up victory because of a $250 cone after he spent $60,000 on his spl van and hundreds of hours testing. That being said I don't know if the DDZ is better than the Warden maybe one of these big competitors will take a risk and see. [/QUOTE]
