I’m interested in buying SGCD but the price (difference) is so much higher compared to M700. I’m curios, is there a smaller discount for dealers for SGCD vs M700 or is it something else?
Example:
M700 in US - $4399 (w tax) is about 3585€ and I bought for 3200€ in EU. Price is 10% lower.
SGCD in US - $1869 (w tax) is about 1522€ and I see dealers online prices between 1900-2240€ + shipping. Price is 30…40% higher.
What’s the catch here I’m missing? I think these SGCD’s would sell like hot cakes for 1500€! Smells like cartel agreement to me…
I don’t understand your US numbers. A pair of M700’s is $2998 and an SGCD is $1699. That’s without VAT (which we don’t have).or US state sales taxes. Your numbers in dollars reflect a 47% mark-up on the M700’s but only 10% for the SGCD.
As I said, the US price for a pair of M700 amps is $2998. For $3999 you get a pair of M700’s and a SGCD. That’s direct from PS Audio. I don’t know where you got that screen shot for the M700’s but it is wrong.
That explains where you got it but it’s still wrong (PSA needs to fix the site). If you go to Products/Audio Components and then select the M700 you get the correct price of $2998. See https://www.psaudio.com/products/stellar-m700-power-amplifier. If you select the M700/GCD combo you get the $3999 price.
Yep, both links take you to M700 with combo price. Now I get it and understand @michael-denmark’s complain about EU dealers with crazy prices in another thread.
