[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8797095, member: 614752"] The first versions were knockoffs of the Soundigital so I'd imagine it'll be just either some small revisions on those or a knockoff of a newer design from one of the Brazilian companies. China doesn't do much by way of innovation and it's not like Jacob is paying a proper electrical engineer to come up with proprietary amp designs, nor does he need to for what that brand is trying to accomplish. Have you ever seen his facility? What do you suppose he pays in utilities? In property/payroll/corporate tax every year? How much do you figure the company eats in warranty claims that a lot of other "brands" would cop out on? I'd wager at the end of the day his margin on an 8K Chinese soundigital knockoff is less than that of Soundqubed or one of those other "brands" that's just one guy and commercial storage lot. He also needs to bake enough markup into MSRP so that distributors AND B&M and online dealers can make enough of a vig to bother carrying the stuff. Mind you there's not much in their lineup I would buy, but it's not like Jacob is just a greedy fat guy with a tophat sitting in a vault full of money bags. Why? To join the race to zero with every other """brand""" doing the same thing? Or to run them myself and have to ship the thing back to China for a repair/replacement if it breaks? [/QUOTE]
