Well, that's a good question.......after I posted this, I got to looking at the price list and dealer cost on everything went up, but it looked like the MAP stayed the same. So, it may or may not be higher to the retail buyer. I guess we'll see.

Looks like MAP has stayed the same, but the dealer cost has gone up.

Oof sorry to hear that. You would think they would want to partner with dealers, as they're the connection to the Main buyers.

I'm not sure what's going on - the new owners are obviously making changes. The website is very different for the dealers....

Eminence Speaker Company was sold to B&C in 2023. Alot of times when this happens nothing good comes out of it...I wonder of the owner and actual original employees are still actively engaged/employed..

As far as I know they are all still there. The people that I've dealt with for years were still there last time I was in contact with them a few months back. But, changes have definitely happened along the way. Not saying they've been bad or good as I don't really know.

I noticed Eminence prices going up four years ago, as part of my yearly review of recommended drivers in all the plans. At about the same time new players with better prices, like LaVoce and PRV, were entering the marketplace. As part of my bang for the buck rule many of these new offerings were given preference over Eminence, and in many cases Eminence was dropped entirely.

Yes it's good for competition for sure.. Once a company sees they have success they start increasing prices... Let's new comers a chance at the big pie..
Eminence is still relevant as people like myself look for used units as well... We have had a few units move between members of this forum which is fantastic
