Headphoneus Supremus
That's insane, on two counts.
One, the price. The Elegia was $900 at retail debut.
Two, the supply. Adorama seemingly has an endless supply of these "discontinued" headphones. Something makes me think Focal continues to manufacture them just for Adorama, which probably has sold a crapload of them.
The mysterious source of all these Elegias has already been discovered...
Nah, you've got that all wrong. They'll never sell out. Whenever it rains a bit, the HE6SE and Focal Elegia spontaneously accrete in the dark corners of the Adorama warehouse like mildew and they just heap them into wheelbarrows with snow shovels, ready for the next round of clearance pricing. Occasionally they mutate a new headband, but that's about it. It's not inventory at this point, it's infestation.
