Prices will only be going higher with the cost of surcharges going on your major carriers. I know container prices dropped a little bit but with chip shortage & lockdown in China again can cripple supply chain which is already hurting and raw materials going up even more.

In a word? No.
And they will not return because overheads will not fall to pre pandemic levels. It’s impossible.
Prices were far too cheap anyway and the pathetic race to the bottom only benefitted the consumer.
Ask Apple if they want their products to sell for less. The look of disbelief will be your answer.
Consumers adapt. Do retailers?

When I was in high school all the good gear cost so much money. Barely out of reach in some instances. I wanted the Eclipse CD deck which was $600. My check was $450. I bought a Clarion instead and I hated it…so I learned a hard lesson. I had to save 2 more checks and buy the Eclipse deck that I wanted in the first place because the Clarion just didn’t do it for me… And eventually it broke like I knew it would. It sucked but the lesson was learned and there was a sense of pride and greater appreciation for my purchase when I was finally able to afford it. We’re getting back to those times again and it kinda makes me smile. For a while there somewhat recently, anybody could afford loud bass and there’s been a ton of companies that popped up with mediocre gear to fill the need of these entitled youth. Yes it hurts more in the wallet to spend 40-50% more for the gear you really want…but I think people will start to really appreciate more when they see or hear it. I always wanted JL audio subs. They were spendy compared to say a Sundown or a Kicker or a Rockford Fosgate but once I had them it felt like winning the lottery after buying so many tickets lol. Did I deserve it?? No, I bought it!! I earned it! I hope people begin to appreciate more what they have.

When gas hits $4.00+ a gallon business drops off. Since the first time gas hit that price in the past I had always said, “Who wants to buy a set of speakers when a tank of gas is more than that set of speakers.
