They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?


Have you ever noted that most expensive audio gear web sites from manufacturer to retail stores withhold prices for most items.  I find this annoying, I can afford a certain level of expense but not any.  I know you can look for sales of used gear etc. etc. but I really want to see the regular retail price, it gives me something to think about or put money aside for. what are your thoughts abut this.

By the way, I have something "Panasonic" that I would rather repair than replace, and Panasonic told me they have shops within a lot of zip codes that do repair. I called the one near me, and got what I consider to be "normal" repair prices.

I notice a lot of people are scratching around trying to fit a square peg in a round hole; face it, the middle class (those who are struggling to keep their head above water) have been priced out of the "high end", and that's all I'm going to say about that; by the way, if you've got a real sharp knife, you just might be able to fit that square peg in the round hole.

Jafant, you're good advice might be history; I've got a CJ preamp that needs repair, and CJ was too expensive, I contacted a repair shop in Canada that was going to repair it, and they told me CJ wanted to charge too much for the parts; their advice was to forget it.

The title of this thread is "They almost never quote prices" and you say "Prices are not cool to rap about dude!!"; that sounds like a contradiction to me. Could you elaborate?

"I can buy 100K  speakers i" ; would you buy 100K speakers, are 100K speakers in your present budget?   
When you have to ask how much it costs you can't afford it; that's why I never go through the trouble of finding how much it costs.
