darTZeel out of business?

[marty]

I was minding my own business listening to David Hurwitz' revews of Bruckner's 4th symphony, but noticed in the right hand column, YouTube videos that the preference tracking geniuses at Google thought would get my attention. Well, this one certainly did. Huh? and WTF! were my first 2 responses!

I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.
Soulution, CH Precision, & FM Acoustics are better options in that price category.

The DarTZeel sound never really appealed to me...

Jay is talking in his video about this Roy Gregory post from a different thread on WBF this morning:

Dartzeel price increases have been absurd. $125k now for a basic 18NS/108 combo. Tough sell in the US. Sound is great though.

+1

Still, used NHB 108s @ $12-13k are a steal. Fabulous build quality, reliability and sound.

Oh please ! All their products could be sold at half price and still bring hefty profits , if no one buys the overpriced products, they will have to adjust prices or die !

Hifi is indeed expensive. I'm glad that I'm done upgrading.

I have just texted Ricardo Franassovici (Absolute Sounds) who is their duistributor in the UK who texted me back they have slowed down, but are still active.

No Panic necessary until Mike L says so

Didn’t he started to sell his Dartzeel combo few weeks ago if I recall correctly?

Is that dealer talk, meaning we still have some stock we need to get rid of ?
