Does Nelson pass have anything to do with pass labs now? I didn’t think so. I consider him One of the good guys who gives back to the DIY community, not one of these con artists who is trying to make millions on fancy casework
If one tries to make a really good amp in a cheap chassis, the people who can afford it 10x over, never buy it.
If one makes a mediocre amplifier in an expensive chassis, people buy it.
The scenario you are asking for is the way to reach the lowest level of sales, with the lowest level of return, the lowest level of dealer support, and the lowest percentage of customers in the market.
Sad but true. Not a 100% true all the time, but if one wants to start a company and make good enough coin to stay in the game... what you propose is a good way to die off real real quick. One can only pull this stunt off, when they already have a reputation. But, if having such a reputation, one way to burn your dealership model down to the ground, is to introduce a product that is fabulous sounding in a cheap chassis, with a commensurate lower price. The customers are buying into exclusivity, and low priced items from the same company...simply will not do.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer things go the way you seem to desire things to go.
But as a marketing model, it generally goes bust pretty quick.
Isn't that just a tad insane? People are strange....
