Pass Labs Point 8 Series info

What I asked was ".. is this line getting seriously expensive?"
300 Watts per channel $85K
30 Watts per channel $6.5K

For $85K one can buy a fairly decent new Mercedes Benz.

I never suggested that they weren't good, just that they were starting to get expensive. That's all. Yes, I know they aren't the most expensive and yet can compete with those that are more expensive. Still, IMHO the price tags are starting to look a little high. YMMV.

I agree, but you could say the same for other high end firms. Such as FM Acoustics, don't even get me started with them!

Unsound,why are you looking at the top of the line luxury components from Pass and feeling negative when fabulous, extremely high performance is available, with giant power levels, below $15k? Who cares about "average price tag" if fantastic performance can be had from them at a fraction of top of the line?

And, as far as that 30 watt $6.5k amp, listen to it. You won't believe it. And it has well over 100 watts of power in reality.

I'm with Unsound that it's hard to call $85k a bargain. That said, Nelson Pass is also perfectly happy to help you own his amplifiers at the cost of parts. You just have to make them yourself... and he'll literally help give you advice while you do so.

Granted, the newest designs aren't shared, but still, I'm very happy to own a product from a company with this type of value system.

I agree. Pass Labs is a solid choice regardless of the prices. You get what you pay for in most instances.
