As a guy who have never been shy when it comes to investing in quality equipment I have actually found a product class that I can not justify the expense.
Plasma floor stands ie one's that actually connect to the plasma are quite possibly the most over priced pieces of equipment on sale in the AV sector.
How can, for example Unicol (Have used their very reasonable wall mounts for years) Justify a price tag of £695 for the Axia Home Plasma floor stand with two glass shelves.
I have looked into the materials cost to build a very robust floor stand and in total it comes to £70. A local fabricator can build one for £180 and to be honest this guy is one of the most expensive in the area.
The only explanation I can come up with is that this market is still commercal outlet focused where things are a little less price sensative!
