That's NUTS. These monitors should be $250 each. Anyone in Europe able to find these monitors for what they should actually cost? I don't know why they are price gouging these. The lp6 seem to be the same price on either side of the pond, but the bigger lp8 are being scalped for a big premium over street price for no apparent reason. Supply disruption maybe? But if that is the case why are the smaller set the same price as over here? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

More like 400 USD in other stores. About 244$ for the LP6 at Thomann. 320$ in other stores. Thomann is usually cheaper than any other place though.

These are "budget" monitors and they have just randomly jacked up the price for no apparent reason and made them far less budget friendly. $800 a pair? That's insane. The lp8 should be $500 a pair. I wonder why they are charging such a premium over street price? Maybe the supply disruption is making these harder to get in europe?

It's usually the same for guitars and other things. If it's wares made in the US (Axe FX? Music Man?) maybe it jacks up the price cause of import fee, taxes etc. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I suspect that prices on all of them are elevated somewhat. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Seems too much of a spike considering the street price. QUOTE (Phil66 @ Jan 18 2022, 04:21 PM) QUOTE (klasaine @ Jan 18 2022, 03:13 PM) 1) Supply chain issues. 2) Euro prices always include the taxes and any 'fees'. We have supply chain issues here and we are not getting hammered on prices like these seem to be doing eh? I know there is the VAT tax and all, but we are talking about $300 a pair price difference. That seems to be a bit more than vat and such eh? meanwhile the YAMAHA monitors are actually CHEAPER than they are here in the states. so yeah. Bit odd. It does not appear to be across the board, if it were supply chain an vat tax, it should be impacting most of the monitors in the same way. it's clearly not. It seems they are just sticking to people due to the Kali being in high demand. Thats business. It's lame, but yeah. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jan 19 2022, 04:55 AM	GMC:er Posts: 25.297 Joined: 23-December 09 From: Atlanta, Georgia, USA	Those look like VERSION 1 of the LP8 and the second one is the lp6 version 2, but yeah those are amazing and that is a killer price on a great set of monitors. The entire point of these is that they were BUDGET monitors with great quality. They became so "HOT" that now folks are being gouged in europe. the version 2 of the LP8 is also a great buy at american musical supply. sadly, only north american customers allowed it seems?

I'm just irked that vendors seem to be jacking up the price on these just because they can. Other monitors, like the yahama, are actually cheaper than they are over here. I hope the prices come down a bit and get in line with suggested retail before you go to make a purchase.
