Wasn't it targeting a price lower than $279 on announcement?

Yup.

Since we began the journey there has been increased manufacturing and production costs, and currency changes which we’ve reflected in the confirmed pricing.

Fair enough. I think what I'm sticker-shocked over is less related to their price and more related to how much Behringer has lowered their prices. I'm not sure that I need a $300 drone synth more than I need a $300 something else.

you'd hate the audrey2. and you'd be wrong

No, and no. I think that the Aubry 2 is overpriced. I wouldn't "hate it", but, I have little use for it. Products like that are exactly why I like modular synths. I also don't like most drum synth modules. I make exceptions for some. OTOH, I like their $49 quick design bpards based on the Daisy-seed. I have other Daisy-Seed prototyping materials.

All that said, I'm not a fan of most feedback work. Keep in mind that I've been to more "noise shows" than you might realize and so I've heard endless variations of feedback drones. Most I dislike, I find them fatiguing.

I like some such recordings more than others.

That said, if I wanted something like Aubrey II badly, I'd just build it either in Reaktor, or using something like the daisy boards that I already have.
