Recently I noticed that the price of the rosewood LCD-2 went up from $995 US to $1145 US. In Australia this was reflected as an increase from $1080 AUD to $1330 AUD.
 
This was a bit annoying but I thought 'oh well, I'll just get the bamboo, has less cracking problems and lighter too'.
 
I was just told by headphonic (headphones.com.au) that they have "[size=12.800000190734863px]recently been informed by Audeze that the bamboo LCD2 will be rising in price to match the rosewood version. [/size]Of course Headphonic could mean that just Australian prices will go up but I doubt that. [size=12.800000190734863px]So soon it will probably be $1145 in the US and $1330 in Australia.[/size]
 
I've now completely taken it off my wishlist, unless a really good quality used comes up in Aus. It's just a bit too much while still at uni. But yes, so if anybody was planning on getting them new, get them soon before the price changes  
 
EDIT: And now Headphonic have just emailed me with this "[size=12.800000190734863px]Just after posting that last email to you we received clarification that the bamboo LCD2 price will NOT be going up... as far as we know  [/size]
[size=12.800000190734863px]So good news.[/size]

I noticed too, I was about to buy them (the rosewood version) in February but they were backordered. I thought I could wait a bit longer and get a better amp first but now I have to say no to the LCD2. I assume only a few prefer bamboo over rosewood hence the new price tag. Too bad really...

I've read somewhere about the price (materials, manufacturing cost) increase, i guess its relative. It happens on any headphone brand.
