Can I ask why this price increase has affected the UK as well? We are undergoing an economic crash at the moment and as an example Axiom have just increased the price of the M60s from £656.00 to £792.00! That's a 20% increase, and it has affected the whole range of speakers!
Ratticon - Welcome to the club on the economic crash!
I'm pretty sure it comes down to currency values. The British Pound is down ~15% in the last 4 months against the US dollar (
see chart), and Axiom can't afford to absorb the drop in value of the Pound without some adjustment. I imagine the ~20% hike versus ~15% drop in value is to protect themselves from additional swings in value of the Pound/Dollar ratio, which isn't hard to imagine given the wild ride we've all been on in the last month or two.
Hopefully in time it will stabilize...
