I asked last week and they didn't have pricing at that stage so I followed up today and that is what they have given me. Gives me some hope that they are wrong and maybe my dream hasn't died............. might be worth going back to retailer to clarify if this pricing is, a) as advised from JVC b) a figment of imagination c) result of a bad nightmare or combination of all three 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they got their model numbers mixed up and that is the NZ8 and NZ9 pricing. Hopefully you are correct and they mixed up the model numbers. I'm trying to get back in touch with them now to see if I can get confirmation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These new prices are now double the US price. Will be interesting to see how they sell but puts me out of the picture for considering one. Cant quite fathom it ; JVC wouldnt shoot themselves in the foot like this - [a groupbuy knocking 5k off isnt going to happen mores the pity ] If that german site listing the tw9500 is legit [and its a dealer site so they have credibility on the line] Ime still 1/2 glass full hopeful prices will reflect the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofer over on AVS has hinted the NZ9 will be $40k here. Hopefully all this pricing is incorrect. If this is correct I'll sit this out and continue to enjoy my NX7 and with the $ difference I could buy many many bulbs and still be ahead. Let's see what pans out.

Yeah no I will hang onto my NX9 not complaining about Pq on my end. Though I have been told a DCR Lens is the way go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perish the thought Frank ; just hoping for the best with the Z7 ; like the discounts of around 2k for the nx7 presently going for ' if they price them over the odds initially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spizz Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Looks like Digital Cinema has posted the pricing. Wow. I would like to thank JVC Australia for saving me money from buying the new range by pricing it so far outside what the US pricing or reality. The projector market is already a small niche enthusiast market so I wish them the best in selling any projectors in more than single digits here in Australia as I don't know at those price points whom they are aiming them at. I'll continue to enjoy my NX7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spizz Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) It would be cheaper to import these projectors with no warranty from the US and ship them back and fourth half a dozen times if any problems should arise and you would still be ahead. Maybe every other country, but especially ours our subsidising the US pricing Edited September 10, 2021 by Spizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty boop Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 there is no middle man in au... they are brought in by JVC...so what justifies such a big hike up from the us pricing is beyond me... given how comparable our pricing was prior with NX series ... i agree used prices of 7 and 9 series will go through the roof... thats if anyone with one would be mad enough to let one go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oztheatre Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 No pricing has been released yet. That site has simply listed them at 'a price' as google rarely picks up anything without a price attached to it. It's just a google ranking tactic used. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
