Being a long term fan and loving my gear, but I have a hard time understanding this approach.
As an example:
– BL5 was priced Euro 19,400 a pair in 2016, the successor BL50 was priced Euro 26,000 a pair at that time. Both a lot of money, but also still felt like value for money (also compared to other brands).
– But: Price of a BL50 pair over the last couple of years:
– 2022: Euro 38,000
– 2023: Euro 46,500
– 2024: Euro 53,500
The BL50 did not get better over time to explain this increase and these increases are way above inflation. I do not see how this strategy can make sense.
Hopefully I can keep my beloved BL5’s up and running for a long time….
