lightning69, your comparison is not accurate.
eg :
MBS-01
US price - USD948 (SVS direct)= RM3318*1.25tax=RM4147 + RM600(ship+insure)=RM4647
M'sian Price = RM5520
Difference = RM873 = 18.7% (not 66%)
I don't know about the shipping. Just guessing. Hope you can update with more accurate comparison.

Since we are paying too much, what do you suggest we do?
I am really interested to get a few more speakers from SVS. Can you help?
Thx.

in fact , tax is calculated CIF, so it's RM3318 + RM600 first then add 10+15 = 26.5%... biggrin.gif

And this is Velodyne price...

CHT-12Q

US Price - USD799 = RM2796
M'sian Price = RM3000
does the rm3k velo perform as well as the oh so bloated RM3600 PC12-NSD sub? biggrin.gif

anyway in US, USD799 is probably dealer price, while SVS quotes direct distribution price.. of cos there will be 20-30% differences in similar product categories.. which of coz the CHT12 aint in the same category as svs..

Dali Ikon 2
UK price from 689 Pound = 3783
M'sia price = Rm4200 or cheaper
Difference = RM417 = 11%

Dali Ikon 6
UK price from 999 Pound = 5414
M'sia price = RM6000
Difference = RM586 = 11%

I guess the qty mover locally for svs will still be subs sales .. smile.gif

Are you saying that SVS sub performance result in more tax and higher shipping?  Now maybe one can explain why the heavy premium on SVS product in malaysia while other speakers brand don't charge such premuim? 

For your info...the USD799 are internet price...not dealer price.
*
I dunno, that how the price structure is locally, if you don't accept, then too bad.. biggrin.gif

as for velo USd799 being direct price, where got?

www.velodyne.com doesn't sell directly wor..

http://www.velodyne.com/dealer/online.aspx?sid=937q895f

these are a list of online dealers.. which are still dealers using internet medium, not direct selling from svs website.. please understand the difference..

Hi lightning69,

We understand where you're coming from on giving us insight and even taking the trouble to do a calculation. Thank you for letting us know the difference in prices and I believe the our AV/Hifi brothers are aware of the prices of the svs compare to the rest of the other subs/speakers.
Like it or not, I believe that there are a few people are still purchasing these SVS at a premium price locally because of the peace of mind where HTkaki has enable buyers to even demo/support & after sales service for SVS; plus for all the trouble he also needs to cari makan. IMHO, he is doing his part as a responsible dealer in Malaysia.
On regards on Velodyne 7% increase only, we have to remember that Velodyne has already factored in , transportation/logistic/storage/dealer/opex/capex etc margin from day one when business open shop. Thats their business module and how they run things from day one. Thats the case for or most of the brands in the market today.

On SVS, business from day 1 has been direct SVS factory ------>direct to customer (Did not factor in Dealers/storage/transportation)
Now SVS wants to have a presence in Asia, so need to factor in the other cost as I mention.

If lets say one day Velodyne decides to have direct Velodyne factory to their customers. I'm sure the CHT12Q would be 30 to 40 % less.
Again its always willing buyer, willing seller.

Just my 2cents.

wow so patient to explain, I'm afraid he'll still go on in circles after reading your post.. biggrin.gif

Bro,
I have a feeling he'll come down once we meant to harm  biggrin.gif
Moreover we are all Hifi/Av kaki and share same interest.

Lighting69 just wants to warn us on the prices and dont like sellers to take advantage on us as buyers, thats all. He means well thumbup.gif

he's been harping about this issue for few months now , for nothing htkaki kena...
I mean willing buyer willing seller right? if dun accept then just buy something else lor..
so is this implying htkaki taking advantage and jacking up the price ? I kesian him putih putih kena..

I would think its a fair price from htkaki for a great subwoofer. As the my previous note, if one would buy from SG its only a mere RM299 +++ savings with hotel difference with the hassle and time one would go through ketam minus added value the after sales support from htkaki.

Different people have different thinking when it comes to money spent.
Some would take the risk for the RM299 ++ savings & some would not bother to go through the trouble for a mere RM299 savings.

htkaki's target market are those who does not want to have to go thru the hassle and would like to have a piece of mind. Price justified with the support given for SVS local dealer.

Nevertheless , SVS subs are great and who choose whichever way either buying it from Singapore or Malaysia. I'm sure they value the SVS even more because of the performance and the sakit hati in forking out a premium for it rclxub.gif 

Again, price is always subject to negotiation. as what you say willing buyer, willing seller.
*
there will definitely be a price differential between SG and MY on this item cos one has 7% GST while we have 10+15 = 26.5%.. so nearly 20% automatic difference between SG and MY

so any savings one would get buying from SG and driving back is due to luck of not kena tax...

of course if got warranty problem for those SG units, then have to send back to SG lor.. cos htkaki already mention he only support those SVS USA direct to MY (previous purchases) and his current orders only..

smile.gif cheers!
