Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?


I don't have any specific example but just from looking at it overall, it seems like high-end components prices have really risen more than inflation.  

Or may be it is must me?

Focal Sopra 2's are my judge of price gouging. Just two years ago they could be had for $15k. They now cost $22k. There is no way to slice that cake to justify it. Glad I got mine before the gouging began, but I won't be back to Focal. 

Maybe some things have become out of control, but has ARC ever been cheap? Or how about McIntosh? Heck I took out a loan on my first large speakers. The used Bozak B’s were mine for 24 easy monthly payments.

@audioguy85 ,

It would serve you and the health of this thread well if you confined your idiotic political opinions to yourself and your ignorant, like-minded buddies.

One of the most, perhaps the most difficult thing for many to admit (if only to themselves) is that they have been wrong about something or someone; that their opinion was mistaken.
