Why so expensive??

I'm siting here Looking at amps,preamps,speakers,etc...and wondering why some of this stuff cost so much.Don't get me wrong i have some crazy expensive equipment,but $350,000 for amps' come on give me a break.$100,000 for a pre-amp'please.There is no way in h#%* it cost even close to that for parts and build time.So why???What NUT whould buy something like this?Ohh it's the same Nut that just traded in his '06 lamborgini for a '08.God bless you folks with that kinda of cash.And by the way when your ready to trade up let me know i will take your used equipment for FREE since you blowing your money anyway.
Thanks in advanced for your used equipment..

it's all relative. if you have a billion dollars , 350k for an amp may be worth it. if you have 1 million dollars, a 350k amp is probably overpriced.

What was the model # and manufacturer of the $350000 amp again?

What speakers is this used with?

How big is the room it is used in?

What is the sensitivity of the speakers used?

Not that any of this really matters for me. I doubt I could afford to even rent a listen!

Still, I am curious!

They are probably referring to the Wavac SH-833 monoblocks.

150 wpc. Monster SET's.

That'd be about $1167 per watt.
