Increase price for Vandersteens

Hi,

I see the price of the Vandersteen 2 and 3 models went up recently.

I know Vandersteen does updates/refinements to his speakers and does not always advertise the changes.

Im curious if updates are responsible for the price increase?

Thanks

Wow, that's interesting since shipping alone has gone up a lot with the gas surcharges since 09 and I know that factors into things this large too.

Guys-

we must be careful about these companies that continue to "raise" prices. They are covering their asses from the previous year and hide under so-called parts, labor...etc umbrella. This is no excuse, the cost of hifi gear has never been higher. Even the cheap stuff is high (read: over-priced). Buyer Beware. Happy Listening!
Why do companies need an EXCUSE to jack up prices. If we're talking about private companies, they exist to make $$. It's econ 101, supply, demand and price. They will charge what the market will bear.
