[QUOTE="kcducttaper, post: 8676264, member: 675780"] For sure! Heck, they sound better than many $200 bookshelves. I legitimately don't know how they make money on those. Just the AMT is worth as much as the whole speaker costs! The woofer isn't too crazy special (I believe it was a GRS driver buy-out if I remember correctly), but that still leaves the cost of materials on the crossover network, box, and assembly. I've got an idea for a bookshelf that goes from 20+kHz to 33Hz +/- 2dB bouncing around in my head, but don't tell anyone... 🤐😉 Only thing is, the cost of materials on that is roughly $400 - more if I want to make it look super nice with a solid wood baffle and baltic birch on the sides.
