Supercooper188 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 What do you all think a comparable pair of TSW-910's would cost today? I think they were around $2,000 when they were new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 What do you all think a comparable pair of TSW-910's would cost today? I think they were around $2,000 when they were new.You can Google "1990-2009 inflation" and find that $2000 1990 dollars would be about $3,334 today.

Steve F Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 You can Google "1990-2009 inflation" and find that $2000 1990 dollars would be about $3,334 today.The inflation calculator that I used returned a value of $3224, same ballpark.Of course, this assumes that you feel the performance of the 910's was commensurate with their original asking price. Some might feel that the 910's were a bargain of sorts--a real no-holds-barred speaker at far less than the ultimate price.Others may feel that the 910's were little more than formulaic, marketing-driven products sized and configured to fill a pre-determined marketing niche ("Hey, boys: We need a double 12" floorstander, big, you know, to harken back to the glory days of the original 9's. Give me some sketches by Monday.")Personally, I am virtually certain the above line is a very close approximation of how they came into being, but I think their sound and engineering execution was pretty darn good nonetheless.Steve F.

I think the 910's have a great sound and presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
