SergeModular

one has to ask, why does a ROX or BOX cost $250.00 and $200.00? for a
cut out and folded piece of aluminum. hmmm, i wonder why? please help
me out, i just don't see the value there. there are no circuits, ic's
or parts involved, much less a power supply which is an extra $450.00
for a 6 panel system. these are some of the factors which make it
very hard for new customers to get in on the Serge action. i am not
knocking the circuits or functions of the system. it seems to me that
STS may have to adapt to the more advanced technological
manufacturing times we are in. if you add all the introductory costs
to a first time purchaser, it is quite a bundle of cash to outlay for
1 or 2 panels. before you even put a module in a ROX or BOX, you are
looking at $700 minus the patchcords and shipping. something needs to
give on STS's behalf. Again i am not knocking the circuits or
functions of the system, it just needs to come into the 21st century
in terms of production and availability.
