High-end audio equipment could become cheaper due to strong NTD

What does the sharp rise of the New Taiwan Dollar mean for consumers? Experts say the NT’s appreciation is actually helping to reduce some import costs for audio equipment. They say that if the exchange rate remains stable, prices for certain products could drop by around 5%. FTV reporter Stephany Yang has the details.
What does a million-dollar sound system sound like? One of the latest trends in the high-end audio market are subwoofers that create rich and immersive soundscapes.

It’s made from a solid block of metal. That’s how it achieves such full, rich bass and efficient speed.
Other companies are incorporating AI technology, pushing the boundaries of sound design. Even with a limited space and budget, they are creating audio effects that rival large-scale systems.

If we have a low-frequency system that can connect to the main system, then by adding just a little bit of budget to the existing system, you can turn your small system into a large one. The listening experience becomes very pleasant. Many consumers are hesitant to step into the high-end audio world because they don’t know how to choose. I suggest going to different venues to listen to different sounds. For example, if you like live music, go to a concert. If you enjoy classical music, visit the National Concert Hall. Remember those sounds—then you’ll have a great reference when selecting audio equipment.
With the NTD appreciating sharply, what’s the effect on consumers in the high-end audio market?
Huang Kuang-hsiung
Audio brand CEO
The NT dollar’s appreciation is great news for consumers. I believe we will have better prices.
Recent exchange rate fluctuations—particularly the appreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar have had a notable impact on the high-end audio market. Experts reveal that the strengthening of the NTD has made imported components and audio products more affordable for Taiwanese consumers. If the exchange rate remains stable, prices for some high-end audio products could decrease by approximately 5%, making equipment more accessible to enthusiasts.
