I’ve experienced that too while window shopping online. It’s strange. I toggled thru cad dollars and US dollars too thinking it was that but the math didn’t work out.

I’m not sure why the website does that. There was a while when it was all the time and massive price jumps then it mellowed and then stopped totally.

I was using the “ wish list “ feature within my account too so I’m not sure if that played a role.

But rest assured the prices have not gone up. I’m looking at them now.

Gives the heart a jump as you’re getting ready to pull the trigger on something and then blam! The price jumps.

Interesting...
When I go to the main product page, M5HP listed at $1600 USD, and powered version at $3225 USD.
When I click on the individual speaker, the prices come back to 1080 and 2225.
Multiple PCs at multiple locations during the last several weeks, all from US.
I am glad it's a glitch.
Thanks

Sophie, indeed Axiom has some issues with pricing. I've found, at times, the 21 day discount doesn't show up in my cart so watch out for that.

I just tried an m5hp in usd from my iPhone. $1080 USD.

I guess just watch the shopping cart as you load up.

Sophie, are you seriously considering the wireless option?

I am seeing the same thing, in USD but not CAD, accessing from Canada.

On the /product page M3's are 897 USD/pr and M5HP's are 1620 USD/pr.

On the individual pages eg /m3-bookshelf-speakers M3's are 598 USD/pr and M5HP's are 1080 USD/pr.

When I first looked at the prices (CAD / Canada) the /product page prices matched the /<individual product page> price.

When I selected USD the site also flipped from "Canada" to "United States" - I was able to set country back to Canada while keeping USD and the prices were still wrong on the top level products page, so currency seems to make the difference rather than location.

I also went back to CAD and confirmed that prices once again matched between top level and individual product pages.

I have submitted an IT ticket to Axiom and referenced this sequence of posts, although I mis-typed 44073 instead of 440073 for Sophie's first post blush.

Mike, what I meant - as a joke - is that Axiom intentionally set two different prices to see how prospects react. Companies often times do this to parts of their sites to see what works best. This is called A/B testing.

You all have to remember Axiom is first and foremost Colquahoun Audio Labs. Yup...Ian has been experimenting with our meat computers for over 40 years. laugh
