He probably couldn't afford them. These are thought by many to be among the very best.
Is this for real?
While cruising through A'gon Tube Amplifier section I see that a seller has listed an amplifier with a retail price of.....are you ready.... $3,500,000 (I had to go back for a double take on that)!!! However, as these amplifiers are used, and only in 9/10 condition, the seller has discounted these amps down to $139,000 (at a discount of 96%, what a bargain....hurry, supplies are limited!).
Is this for real, or are these prices a mistake? What's your take on a pair of mono blocks that retail for $3,500,000?

https://www.stereophile.com/content/wavac-sh-833-monoblock-power-amplifier-measurements If I remember right these Wavac 833 were on the front cover of Stereophile side by side with a pair of Agostio’s Krell Monoblocks, and underneath it said (because of the measurements) "If one of these amps is right, the other one is wrong" This got me thinking, so I obtained a circuit of the smaller bother Wavac 805 mono blocks https://www.wavac-audio.jp/md805mk2_e.shtml still massive and built a pair (35kg each). I had them for a couple of months and sold them, as my Krell type monoblocks were better in every area, except for that tube colouration in the mids, which is beguiling for a short time, but not long lasting.
