What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework?


What is the approximate cost of the casework on the big Krells, big Pass Labs and big Gryphon amps?  What is the approximate cost of  casework on similar big solid state amps?

This is sort off what I have, and listeners have said it's the best image and depth they've ever heard.

Looks like the best of all worlds George. My speakers are 100" out from the rear wall; guess I could build some Perry Mason courtroom-type short walls four feet behind the speakers, open in the middle of course, to improve room loading...

Seems that the common agreement here is that the prettier the item, the more you'r paying for appearance vs. performance.

So...it comes down to whether or not you're trying to impress your eyes or your ears in the first place.

There seems to be examples of beautiful equipment that eats dust vs. 'plain Jane'.  And why am I not surprised...;)

Sorry we are going completely off topic here with speaker placement but I now completely understand George's point. In my case I have the same side/back wall set up but the bay window is about a meter deep and it feels like the musicians are sitting deep inside the recess, sort of like orchestra seats 5 rows back. I'm sure it would be even closer to live music with nothing in the middle.

Back to the original topic....
