One of the potential issues for all high end buyers in this market is the ongoing viability of the company/manufacturer that they are investing in. Many (most?) of the high end audio companies are really just small potatoes when it comes to production capability and company size. One bad circumstance/business disruption can and will put them down quickly ( and permanently!). It is a risk that I think most of us realize and will have to be ok with going forward, IMHO.
