Agree, that seems less than expected, but IMO Tele USA just made great marketing trick with ELAM 251.
First, it was mentioned in press that it's price is around 10.000, what seemed fair if mic is on par with best vintage ELAMs that would cost 15-20 grands.
Later they lowered the price, but still there are not too many people who would pay 3 times more than for Lawson 251 (for very subtle improvement in sound) or almost 2 times more than SOundelux ELUX 251.
Finally, they came to conclusion that ELAM 251 should fit in Soundelux price range 4500-5000. Indeed, chance to sell it now in bigger quantity are realistic.
So, to justify great price drop, they cutted warranty period and some other non-essential items in package.
But, presently ELAM 251 is really first class choice, so I'm gonna purchase it definitely.
Dealers network is still small, so further price improvement toward 4000 for the time being is not very likely.
