The very concept of 'rip-off hi-fi' is ridiculous. Hi-fi is a luxury item, nobody needs it to exist so nobody is obliged, or forced, to buy anything. If you think something is poor value for money, don't buy it - it's not difficult (works fine for me). If you believe that God has given you a mission to point out all wrongs (real or imagined) that exist in the tiny universe of hi-fi then A/ get a grip, B/ seek psychiatric advice.

No doubt poor after sales service occurs, warranties, etc. That may be the rip off!
Exactly.
