[QUOTE="gunz4me2, post: 6498739, member: 613729"] Didn't Penn and Teller do an episode on Nostalgia saying it is BS? Regardless, I doubt they will re-attract consumers in our age group. One of my friends, a former car audio enthusiast, tossed all the Punch 150s that I sold to him in the 90s. I only found out when I called him a couple of years ago offering to buy them all back. His response: "I am married with kids and tossed all that stuff out when cleaning the attic because I am too old to do a system now. I wish I would have known that you wanted them back because I would have given them to you." It bummed me out to learn that my old gear was just tossed in the garbage in perfect working condition.

Maybe "Going back to the Old School" is their way of justifying charging top dollar for products that are made overseas. I remember hearing a rumor last year at this time from someone in the industry about that Orion throwback series. Initial MSRP suggestions were at the $1 per watt range and the 5,000 watt Class D was originally set to have a $4,999.99 MSRP. I see that has since changed, BUT, DEI's Orion is still overpriced and only shares LOOKS with the Orion of old. [/QUOTE]
