If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

Well if you can afford a $125,000 watch that's nice .I hardly ever wear a watch and when I do my $150 Sieko serves me fine.I also drive a 2006 Honda Accord which I don't  gave to worry about getting scratched when I park it.I do have a stereo  system that cost me 10k and have alot of vintage audio equipment, plus albums and cds ,that fill my townhouse. I like reading the replies on this site .I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about audio equipment having been into it for over 50 years.From the days that if you spent $1,000 you got state of the art equipment. BUT I'm not a millionaire  so ,I enjoy  what I got and read magazines and sites like this to Float my Boat.The Coronavirus has nothing what so ever to do with audio equipment. 
Geoffkait, do you always fall for propaganda? Go to the CDC's web site for data. You should also note that the mortality rate from heart attacks and cancer have dropped dramatically. Headlines-Corona virus cures cancer and heart attacks! Hospitals are pigs. Everyone who dies in a hospital now dies from Corona virus. They think they can get more money this way. 
A 30K dollar integrated amp is a total non started regardless of any circumstance.
mijostyn,

While talking about hearts and Coronavirus that you have so far been lucky to survive, an echocardiogram may not be a bad idea.
