Just check out this short video it unleashes a lot of cats out of the bag with drivers being marked up to 12+ times  please all the totally unrealistic add ons it was normally a 5x markup on speakers including packaging now sometimes 50x msrkup they say R&D and engineering , having owned a audio store for a decade and a consumer and Xover and upgrades I did part time 8 hav3 seen it all in speakers and electronics  check this out.  https://m.youtube.com/watchfwjZ8rpczY

Sorry, I did not watch the videos, but I can guess on the contents. People who say these things have never run a business and are completely unaware of a little thing called overhead. Once you move beyond the build to order one man show, things get complicated and more costly. 

Doesn’t Wilson pride themselves on making their own drivers and hand building everything else?

Please proof read what you post before you post it. Either you were having a small stroke writing that, or I had one reading it.....

Aside from the fallacy of presenting speaker engineering as the simple sum of its components, the video incorrectly names Sonus Faber and Magico of outsourcing their drivers. While this may have been so in the past, it has not been the case for awhile now. It basically extends its critique of Wilson Audio outsourced drivers to anything and everything costing what it deems overpriced, regardless of enclosure engineering. Any viewpoint inaccurate in detail will also be care less and inconsistent in the broad picture.

I am poor (relatively). Everything is overpriced, so I make choices and live with them. Then enjoy the outcomes, whatever they be.
