[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8631724, member: 674149"] OP, you really are paying for quality and a name. You know names like JL audio, Focal, Kenwood, Alpine, ETC... because they have been doing this for a long time and have built up a reputation. A reputation that has earned enough respect that you are willing to pay more for it. They have an established company with a quality customer service, expanded sales (so you have more options), a research dept. to stay at the front. You are buying in that if something goes wrong, they will want to fix it and not want you spreading bad publicity. On the other side, an actual product, yes you are paying for quality. You are paying for tighter tolerances, better testing, a better quality control so that amp that was bad was found at the factory and you didn't have to bother with finding it for yourself then going through the hassle. Then of course different components can have better materials, but what that usually means is you are paying 50% more for a 1-2% improvement. This may be in sound quality reduction distortion, or improving components they have learned are the first to go bad. [/QUOTE]
