    Hm.

    I'll raise you a pair of Gobel Divin at 450K Euros as a further Relentless assault on the bank A/C.

    Forget the Vox Olympians. So last season.

    Mmmmm, yum.

    I'd love a pair.



    There are folks who would pay the entry price for artwork, and that's what these are.

    If they were the only amps available then I'd be bitching about the price.
    But they aren't, so it's fine.

    Hey, dat's me yo talkin' 'bout.

    I'd bet it's a pretty decent amp, actually.
    D'Aggie's stuff was often very good indeed, ime.

    But yes, there's a hefty premium for the looks and the chassis and the blingy kudos.
    He's obviously got a target market for his post-Krell gear, and it won't sell to them without the corresponding price ticket.
    I don't see that there's necessarily a reason why superficial-minded key janglers won't enjoy music well presented.

    Can you visualise a complete and complimentary system put together in matching 'taste'? It would look like a display in a juke box shop!

    Hehehe... Each to his or her own. I'd need a pair of shades and a sick bag whenever I entered the room, if I had to share space with such vulgar badge-fi. *PROPER* Hi-fi equipment should look 'purposeful', but sober with it, and akin to something out of a 1950s science lab, like 'dis:





    Anyway, I've never seen you as a superficial-minded key jangler, well at least not a key jangler anyway!

    I quite like vulgar bling but I still think they look quite nasty. They've been blinged in the wrong way.
