"Blind reliance on measurements can be misleading ‐ one needs to tie those measurements back to subjective perception. The room response gives a picture of the steady state SPL, where sound generation and sound dissipation in the room have reached their equilibrium." -Linkwitz The resulting curves must not be taken as a 1:1 representation of what is heard as loudness at different frequencies. " The room response must be averaged to recognize trends in the summation of direct and reflected signals at the microphone. I mean there is an opportunity to help someone make a living and at the same time get a nice price, especially as this would be a mater of slapping a shipping label on a speaker set that otherwise I won't buy at full price and would not return (unless defective/damaged). Now obviously I don't expect 50% off, but at more than 50% discount on that pair plus free shipping they still had room to eek out a positive sale. (I didn't want Crutchfield to take a loss, though I preferred supporting them) They said yes, not much but yes it was still worth the sale. I asked when price matching if Crutchfield was still making a profit having to ship them to me and match Amazon. $900 speakers for $425, no clearance, no nationwide manufacturer promo. Not to long ago I purchased a set of speakers from Crutchfield on a price match to an Amazon sale. (not to mention the very different but awesome direct purchases deals from the manufacturer)Īnyway we sold speaker product all the time for 20%+ off retail when negotiating a sale. My employee discount was cost plus a overhead/handing factor and I usually got 40-60% off on speakers. We had stuff that was 70% mark-up (passive speakers, not electronics - some tv's at the time had effectively near zero mark-up) and that wasn't due to non-competitive pricing. Click to expand.Weird, maybe things have changed but when I was working at Audio King in the Twin cities 20 years ago the average mark-up for passive speakers was around 50% once you climbed out of the lower price points.
