Muralman1...Long ago Rolls Royce could truthfully say "The Best Car in the World". Although other vehicles made the Rolls obsolete, and quality went to pot, people who had invested their money and reputation in owning a Rolls refused to admit that it no longer lived up to its sales slogan, and they went right on buying them. No: I don't expect the exotic high end amp owners to run out and buy an $800 ProSound amp. But I do think it's a good thing that people who have less than a grand to spend on an amp can have close to SOTA performance.
