How would you feel

I tried to place this thread another way but obviously stood on some toes and it looks like it got moderated so here goes again another way.

Two years ago I purchased what is considered a well respected amplifier brand new and at the time the retail price was $9,000 The same item is now being sold internet direct for $3,799

Part of me asks where is the brand loyalty or protection as certainly my resale now has taken a big bath.

The Audiophile and music lover part of me says its good because more people can now afford such a product.

How would you feel?

What brand? I could use a $9000 amp for $3700.


LSA, look at Bpinder's other threads.

I would be very upset as well.

Looks like you be passing this one down to your grandchildren. I hope you are still able to enjoy/appreciate it in your system. It reviewed well.

The most important question is did you love the amp before finding this out? If the answer is yes, it's not worth dwelling on.....

I think your other thread posted. I would feel like I should have kept the Berning ZH-270, and not bought the LSA.

Sometimes things like that happen. What is important is whether you are happy with the sound of the LSA and whether you think it sounds better than the Berning.

Should LSA have announced they were going Internet Direct to previous owners and maybe offered them some kind of compensation since they paid full retail price for their gear? That really has to stinks that a $9K amp is now being sold for $3700. Makes you really wonder what you are paying for. Sorry to hear about your situation Bpinder.
