Everyone has their own individual taste , but I try to buy gear that sounds great and can be serviced. $ 7k gets you a very nice integrated from McIntosh, separates from Benchmark, Rogue , Quicksilver, on and on. Lotta cake…. I worked a lot of OT to buy that Toolshed, I don’t throw $7 k around like it’s nothing.
Can you imagine trying to repair that volume and it’s rack and pinion indicator When you are spending that kind of money US and Canadian companies offer more bank for the buck and are better quality, have enduring appeal and are worth something after they are a few years old. Look at the Moon integrated amp on that price range. That is an awesome solid state amp. Build quality is super high if you have never used one in person. That’s what I would buy for that money if I needed moderate solid state power For sure
