can anyone really justify spending $10K on rainbow refs?

[DeuceLee 10+ year member]

its just a thought that came across me when going through audiojunkies.com...

those ref 3 ways are basicly $10K...daym i can get a car with that...

i'm sure they are meant for people who probably make 6 figures but daym, honestly i don't think i will spend more then a grand for a nice set of comps even if i did make 6 figs...

I doubt that Rainbow is surprised that this set is not their best seller.

You would actually pay less than that. Those prices are just MAP.

But yeah, the prices are a little insane - just proof that the law of diminishing returns gets a little wacky the further out you push it.

Would I ever pay 5+ grand for a pair of comps? Sure - If I got to hear them and they were the best sounding speaker I could possibly imagine. And if was substantially wealthier than I am now.

i bet the profit margin must be like $9500 or more...jeeezzuzz

like i said, spending more then $1K even if i was rich is still way out of my book...

i've listened to some nice crystal and cdt sets under $500 and i think its more then good enough...

that is a pretty dumb statement. Ur saying the most expensive product a company has to offer isnt their best seller......

Well.... DUH! thats why companies make cheaper products for the people who cant afford the best. Hence so alot of people buy the more affordable product.

Thank you sir. I really did not think that I needed to go any further with the explaination. I did not, however, count on that other fool being up this early.
