It bogles my mind when amps reach $20k putting out mere 300 watts @ 4 Ohm or sometimes even less. I am beginning to wonder if high end amps are like the magical cables that cost multiple $k.
What is the engineering innovation does a $20k amp demand?. If amp can put out 10,000 watts for $20k I understand, someone wants to go deaf after spending lot of money, or likes melting the speaker drivers for fun. Even $10k for an amp putting out less than 300 watts at @ 4 Ohm just does not make sense to me.
I guess I will never know unless I win a lottery.
