[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1386804, member: 555251"] Because most people here are under 25, go to Best Buy for their equipment and don't realize that there are amplifiers out there that are worth a good portion of the book value of their Honda Civics. Dollars per watt value is another story, though [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Home audio has an ever worse mark-up...you'll see Welborne Labs monoblocks for sale on Audiogon for less than 2/3'rds of what they sell new for. A $1,500 2A3 amplifier that may have $600 in parts might sell for only a few hundred above parts cost. Bottlehead Labs used to charge $250 per pair to assemble their Paramour monos...something that you could do with a soldering iron and wire strippers in two evenings. Smoke and mirrors. [/QUOTE]
