Nobody's earning less than min wage. Why the flying xxx would anyone sell something at below manufacture cost? Do you?
Alternatively carry on believing that shareholders make millions out of £3 chickens and £1.09 for 4 pints of milk, just like all hifi manufacturers make millions out of their gullible loaded mug buyers. I mean you do, don't you? Just toss it off, bolt together a few Chinese made PCBs, bingo another £10k phono stage out the door and another Fireblade for track days. Or do you fancy an R1 to sit beside the MV, Ducati and Hayabusa in the garage? Tough decisions in the daily life of a hifi manufacturer, eh?
