Price No Object Amps

Just posting for human interest/curiosity purposes. I wouldn't suppose anyone on AGON has one of these, however, from a sonic performance perspective, which would you choose?

Somehow I feel that anyone serious about purchasing one of these models is probably not primarily motivated to obtain the absolute sound.

"judge not, yet ye be......."

oh, wait a minute. this is an audiophile website where all we do is mind read.

I'm sure you know the buyers of these amps well enough to judge their primary motivations.

If you guys want to get an idea what market these "toys" are targeted at, take a trip to one of the Gulf states in the Middle East; Qatar Dubai, etc., and browse some of the stores near the luxury hotels. I suspect the Chinese market is not too far behind but I'm guessing that market is a bit more selective and doesn't react quite the same way to shiny objects. No offense is intended, just an observation.
