You need to chill.   He was only making a joke, just like I was when I said you need your own nuclear power plant to operate them.   Personally, I will quietly stick with my McIntosh at about 2% of the price of his amp.  No one was bashing Dan.

stereo5,
Don't get too upset by those comments. Jealousy is a terrible thing. I'm sure that many of us would love to try or own them if we had the room and the funds. At very least, they will be a thing of beauty. Of course, 95% of us wouldn't need that much power.

@stereo5,

“Do you think it is going to sound 230K better than is 20K mono blocks?” - Hell NO.

“I guess he is trying to bulk up his bank account before he retires” - Nothing wrong with that, in fact that’s what every entrepreneur strives and hope for at the end of his life’s work.

As with all things, there is a buyer for everything. Glad to hear you’re happy with your McIntosh as I am with my ARC.

@roxy54, 

Completely agree with - 95% of us wouldn't need that much power.

Peace out!

Everyone is aware that this is an article from 2014?

For a more current exploration of cost no object amps the following was posted yesterday

But as these amps are only $120K a pair they may be too down market for most of us 🙃
