Sennheiser price hike

["mopani_wyness" wyness2001]

Most of you will already know about Sennheiser's price rises. I was just ab=
out to jump on a MKH 60 for under =C2=A31k when the dealer paused and made =
a few calls. Up by 20% with the MKH 30 up by nearly 30%. Apparently Sennhei=
ser aren't selling enough microphones so they've ramped up the prices to co=
mpensate. I'd have thought a drop would encourage buyers in a recession.

Two separate dealers have told me that they're unhappy with Sennheiser and =
that alternatives to the MKH 60 are beginning to sell well so that's where =
I'll look now. Pity about the MKH 30 as there aren't that many suitable fig=
ure of 8s around. Now's the time to look more closely at Rob Danielson's co=
st effective combinations.
