That’s under $5,800 usd at current exchange rate compared to the $6,900 usd is sold here in the USA.

I known there is import duties and transportation cost but still….

The 5200€ are already including tax. So it's definitely a lot more expensive outside of europe.

Can the US guys just once accept that they don't have the privileged prices at least for this one product?

the underrated TOTL HP for sure...if they priced it at say 5K in the US I am convinced it would be more popular than most in the same price class...

If it was price alone you would think more people would have at least tried it at the show and commented either positively or negatively on the signature. It's almost like many don't even know it exists ...

You are missing the point. This is not about being in the USA or Europe. Is about pricing correctly to market. I just bought an Italian headphones amplifier and it is competitive priced compared to equivalent products in the market.

Well in europe it is cheaper than most other summit fi headphones, it's really just a regional pricing thing here.

In europe it certainly is priced competitively

Agreed.

I agree. With a price point in the $4500-$5000 range will attract a lot more people me included.

For me, I preferred the Utopia to the Solitaire P. So I think it should be priced more like $3K. And that was on T&A’s own amp.

Well, if you didn't explicitly go to the show looking to audition it, it would have been very easy to miss. Audio46 had a small table with a number of headphones. The Solitaire P and P-SE were just sort of sitting there with the others, and they don't really stand out so much visually, like an Abyss TC or Focal Stellia might. Even if someone were curious, they might have only given it a cursory listen once they found out the price!

Beside the sound, P also has finest materials and build quality. I have tried the p and se at CanJam NYC, they have same shape, but I feel the se is cheap when I have it on my hand.

personally I think they are every bit as good as either the susvara or the abyss TC...certainly in the same league but due to a lack of name recognition it is difficult to price near 7K...if they were to be priced at 5800 here in the US as described I think they would be quite popular if marketed properly

Remember the street price of the Susvara is around $4,500-$5,000 maximum (speaking from experience).

 

[jlbrach]

understood,my point is that if they were more competitively priced more people would give them a listen...imho they are far better than the lcd-5 but it is 4500

 

[musicman59]

Agreed.

well, this is certainly a most enjoyable pairing! very authoritative sound. was worried there'd be background hum/noise with the SolP, but not getting any at all. slightly less low end than with the Wa33, but still very satisfying. soundstage and imaging is better with the Wa33 too. but the top end sounds crisper, cleaner and less "smoothed over" with the Milo.
