On the www.rockshop.de homepage looking for Audya4 you will find also a first price idea for this device.
Difference between Audya4 and Audya5 is not much.....

Joe

3,650 euros for AUDYA4 ???
that's only $4,911 US

isn't this the price of the current AUDYA?

Well, look at it this way:
Audya has 76 keys.
Audya5 has "only" 61, buy 16 "new" buttons. I.o.w, Audya 5 has 1 more
and should cost more.

And US$ 5000 is CHEAP!! That's less than Tyros3 and Korg PA2X Pro
cost here in Norway.

Audya: $ 10140 , and lowest price at the moment are $ 8278

You still think it's high priced in your area?
And why don't this big differences mirror the same if we compare other
brands? Not even the dealers can explain it ......

For lower prices in Norway
-Go kill your taxes
For lower Taxes
-Go kill your social security system

Its not a fair comparrison Gunnar...

You forget to tell that the average income in Norway is 2 times as much as in the EU.

Jonny,

Go and buy an Audya from anywhere you can afford one, you didn't tell us that!

Well, the only tax when import the Audya or other electronic music instruments are
the VAT (MVA) (25%). VAT also added to the shipping costs.

So, why don't the differece be as high when look at other brands? That's my point.
It should be the the same big gap if we compare T3 or others, but it's not.

I never said I can't afford the Audya, I simply just wanna pay twice as much as rest
of the people around the world. The production and develope costs are the same for each
item whatever country Ketron ship to, is'nt it?

Bachus, if your salary are 3 times as high as mine, then you should pay 3 times as much
as me when buy identical products? That your point? Ans, should the same go for all kind
of products?

And, i.e. Denmark is very similiar to Norway, why do Audya cost half the price there?

I guess the comparrison is still not fair?

Cheers
GJ

Edit:
I simply just don't wanna pay twice as much
