[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 7266500, member: 617319"] If it's OVERpriced, then it's obviously not worth it. If it's EXPENSIVE, then it's worth it if you can afford it. Definitely not a looker, that one. But it's built in the U.S.A., unlike the JL. MUCH better quality than the JL. JL isn't near the same league as Audison, Mcintosh, etc. You are confusing price with quality. Price is not always directly correlated with quality, and this is a perfect example. JL charges so much for their equipment because through their expert advertisement, they have the ability to so and still make a profit. Their amps aren't any better than MMats amps, but JL has their name out there, while MMats doesn't. I already mentioned Bose before...they use some of the worst quality components and drivers, and invest a little into the enclosure design and directional technology. In the end, they make terrible speakers and charge a million for them. Their $1000 system isn't even near as good as a $500 setup from Yamaha. But Bose will still sell millions. When someone enters the home audio industry, the very first company they consider to be quality is Bose. This is true 90% of the time. Why? Advertising. They hype up their products, give them a quality "feel", and advertise EVERYWHERE. It's genius, but deceitful. And why don't you think it compares to JL quality? Because it doesn't cost as much? It's not as good looking? It doesn't have a JL badge on it? Again, why is this nowhere near in the neighborhood of JL? You do know that this amp is practically the exact same as the Arc Audio Mini-series amps right? If it's overpriced, then that means that comparable amps can be bought for less.
