[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1531780, member: 555251"] You think plate amps are expensive in dollar/watt cost...[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] A couple reasons for this. 1. Most HT hobbyists aren't in the same demographic car audio enthuisiasts are. So spending money may not be as much of a problem for them... 2. Sales volume. You're not going to sell as many of these as you would a mass-produced 12VDC amp, so the pricing is different. 3. You don't need as much power at home, so there isn't a race to see who can build the most powerful amps for the cheapest, like there is in 12VDC mobile audio. But plate amps are relatively cheap when you're talking about $/watt [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
