[QUOTE="Caleb Dueck, post: 17977, member: 60"] Re: Martin MLA pricing? The real issue is that the manufacturer that goes first has to recoup the bulk of the R&D costs. They can price low to gain market share, but if they never even break even, what good does it do them? This is why with, say digital consoles, a company typically spends a lot of R&D, and releases a high-cost, high end offering. After some of the R&D is recouped, they can release a lower version at much lower internal cost. Somewhat disagree with the Apple example, but I see your point. If it were about cheap and high quantity, why don't we all use MI grade gear? The Pro market is about the right tool for the job, not the cheapest tool (in large amounts). Another +1 to cheap and poorly deployed line arrays being evil. (edit - forgot a word) [/QUOTE]
