WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value


wilson ad; absolute sound;issue 162. page 12.... dave wilson states in his ad that wilson loudspeakers have one of the [ lowest ] profit margins in the industry. My question is should wilson make public their profit margin percentage's to back up their claims or is this more hyperbole from a high-end audio manufacturer...

Hikejohn, I think that your cost analysis is plain silly as every manufacturer follows a different formula for calculating costs. The industry does not follow any pre-made formula. Add to that the fact that many manufacturers are in the business to explore their passion rather then maximize profit.
Come to think of it, how could Wilson possibly claim that their profit margins are the lowest? This is a ridiculous statement as the whole high-end audio industry consists of private companies who do not release their financial data. So how could Wilson possibly know how other speaker manufacturers set their profit margins??? Seems a bit insulting to the reader, in my opinion.
