Yikes, being able to knock off $18,900 from speakers and still probably make a profit seems crazy. But having a look around Google, it doesn't look like their original price was inflated beyond what other stores list.

 

My favourite is the Focal - Sopra Stand - Speaker Stands (pair), $1,900 instead of $3,800. Wow, bargain :P

Some real bargains but it's largely old, old stock

 

Real Music Company are no longer NZ Focal (or Naim) agents so have been discounting the line on and off since 2019.

Sonos doesn't make in-ceiling speakers, they did / do partner with Sonance, a known and well respected CI brand to market some in-ceiling speakers.

 

 

 

If you're looking to compare Sonos powered speakers and Focal in-ceilings, that's like comparing a car and a jetboat.

 

Both designed to be completely different things.
