What makes a speaker driver expensive?

What happens if the competition advertises the living hell out of the original company?
That's why that post has "very risky" on the bottom of it.

It's not sustainable on the long run, unless investors have VERY deep pockets and a extremely long term vision.

While Purifi actually has some new technologies
Except for the surround they don't have new technologies (and even that is only a design patent)
All technologies they use are already known for decades.
One of the reason why there are no patents on them.

Maybe the combination of technologies is different, but that is a different story.

Re: Purifi - 100% agree. I used "technology" loosely. Basically they have a drivers that are DIFFERENTIATED from others. But so do other manufacturers, Revelator sliced cone cones to mind.

About Beats by Dr. Dre....if my memory serves me, they were pretty unique looking (in particular appealing to younger crowd) and had to much bass (particularly appealing to a younger crowd). Nowadays there are a lot that have borrowed from that original Beats look. Or am I completely mis-remembering?

To be fair, they do have a few patents, and NOT just about the surround.

That is not counting other patent assign to Bruno, Lars, Carsten etc not to Purifi directly eg:

LOUDSPEAKER MOTOR WITH INNER PERMANENT MAGNET
LOUDSPEAKER WITH A NON-UNIFORM SUSPENSION AND AN ENFORCEMENT ELEMENT
LOUDSPEAKER MOTOR WITH IMPROVED LINEARITY
Double Voice Coil Loudspeaker Transducer Unit

They also have some patents assign to Dali and other Lyngdorf group.

Happens relatively rarely (i think), when you enter a branch with a specific product. They have calculated carefully many times before and secured money through investors.
Proctor and Gamble 10.7%I haven´t check
Nestle 2.7%
Coca Cola 6%
Did you know all 3 companys was founded in 1886?

Not strange they all had some advantage to grow....
Think its more about keeping the market shares nowadays.

PS! I haven¨t look up the other companies

Thanks and in that case I stand to be corrected :)
My apologies!

Interesting, because a couple of these ideas are decades old........

True that, some date back to 1975. Hence, I have the utmost respect for their work. It seems they are genuinely trying to push the boundaries much further, which is something that needed to happen. The brain trust of this company is impressive! IMHO

Beside your obvious angriness towards money consideration
You are totaly wrong here, and im sorry if i expressed myself so that you perceived me as such.
I am happy to pay a little more for a better product, but not automatically, but I read about the product & compare with the market.

For me, this philosophy applies to pretty much everything, food, houses, cars, cleaning products and so on.
But you are a little right that I don't like concepts "money" anymore.....

It have take over ethics & morals and is creating unreasonable expectations for investors & bigger & bigger divides in society.
Which in turn increases "poverty" & at the same time creates more criminals & greater insecurity for citizens.

Completly of topic, but i wanted to explain myself
