Tyll definitely has a flair for the drama. I say he's going to stretch this one out to the most elaborate "April Fools" joke ever seen by mankind.

I hope that continues. I don't think the new offerings from Sennheiser and Grado will help much. Both grossly misjudged the market in my opinion. Also, I think used gear is about to ravage the audio industry as a whole. People are going to, or be forced to, sell off gear. You'll be able to buy high quality used for less than modestly priced new. One product line I'd like to see HeadRoom offer is a series of empty cases for popular DIY projects. Casing a Beta22 can be worse than building one. If you could order a professional looking case that was ready to go, I think they'd sell. Anyhow, best wishes, Tyll and I hope everything works out. |

You should see how this effects everyone and adjust...that means making a flagship item for cheaper then most....people want value for the dollar. Thats the market you should be aiming for. |

Their problem is whether the perceived value of their high end amps are worth it to the consumer and in struggling times, consumers want even more value for their dollar. Another way of thinking could be that consumers are going to buy less volume but could spend more on individual items to get the “best” items they can. |
