This is preposterous, at 30 thousand dollars it is 30 times the cost of other brands that offer nearly the exact same feature set. I'm all for top quality audio and video but it can be done cheaper and better. Period.
Makes me wonder this, not to be holier than thou about stuff.. and i'm a staunch capitalist.. however... there are so many much more important things and people that need financial support. You can't take it with you.
I rob myself of innocence With the poison of indifference I buy my stuff at any cost A couple of click and I pay the price 'cause what I gain is someone else's loss
The Processing chips are very cheap, but they are limited by analog output stage. So in that vane, audio grade output transistors aren't cheap. Large Toriodial transformers aren't cheap. Solid aluminum chassis for heat transfer aren't cheap. How about durable RCA connectors or building a full dual differential design? I'm not arguing that its a bargin, but virtually all Dolby TruHD, DTS-MA receivers don't sound as good as Krell's Dolby Digital 5.1 rigs.
