| Trident 8T pricing policy
Trident products are Made in England and we base our pricing on £GBP so when we sell around the world, we apply the exchange rate at the time of the transaction.
When the US dollar is at $1.70 to the pound (GBP) a product costing £3,000 is sold for $5100. Currently the USD is at $1.98 so the product costs $5940 in the USA. Freight is charged at the best rate we can get at the time and is charged at cost. This is not a profit centre for us.
The price of an 8T-16 mentioned earlier by CKK at 2990 euro has now gone down due to the euro getting stronger so it now costs 2,755 euro so you see it works both ways. Whether the Toft company change their prices, I really don't know.
For information:-
TRIDENT 8T-16 costs £1,999 GBP
TRIDENT 8T-24 costs £2,999 GBP
TRIDENT 8T-32 costs £3,999 GBP
According to Sound on Sound magazine last month:-
ATB-16 is £2585
ATB-24 is £3877.50
ATB-32 is £5169.98
Hope this makes sense.
BTW, Ralphski came to my studio yesterday and demo'd the Series 8T and bought it. Thank you and welcome to Trident.
