Is new Sony TA-A1ES ultimate made affordable ?

With lot's of cutting edge circuits, pseudo class A operation with only a single pair of output devices per channel(less=more), I feel this is a landmark product at $2k price. I am going to buy one in June. What ya think about Sony's return to High End ?

I have one. It is very high end in looks and sound. Love it. Takes a little time
to adjust the ears to it as it does run more into Class A and that was new
for me but after living with for awhile, the sound is Superb. A major league
player and steal for the price. I just got a Devialet but will definitely hang on
to the Sony which is really impressive sounding. If I ever need to downsize,
the Sony would be my pick. Prob use for second system for now.

Just put one on my new Sonus Faber Elipsa, 22k speakers. Sounds like Luxman 550 and 590 I owned. Hard to believe. Beautiful volume control and binding posts. Small company made this it would be 8k. Beautiful piece. Runs warm like real class A. No noise.
