The OP doesn’t know anything about producing a speaker. You just don’t add up the cost of parts, the manufacturer has to include his r&d costs to come up with the final product. If it’s a cheaper speaker and he will sell thousands, The his r&d cost per speaker will be much less than a speaker that he predicts will only sell a few copies.
After this, you have marketing costs, and dealer markup. So in reality, the manufacturer could end up getting the smallest piece of the pie.
As for best, I’ve had many cheaper speakers like the Totem model 1’s and mani 2’s which would excellent, but spending much more, I’ve got a much better speaker. If I increased my budget to say $100k, I could do better, but is it worth it?
