If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

Geoffkait, do you always fall for propaganda? Go to the CDC's web site for data. You should also note that the mortality rate from heart attacks and cancer have dropped dramatically. Headlines-Corona virus cures cancer and heart attacks! Hospitals are pigs. Everyone who dies in a hospital now dies from Corona virus. They think they can get more money this way. 
A 30K dollar integrated amp is a total non started regardless of any circumstance.
Hail geoffkait! He just farted and blew them all away. He's getting a free pass to Disney Land China. 

Really, the timing doesn't mean much to me. Maybe they can sell that integrated in Denmark but a class D integrated for 39 large here when you could get a pair of JC 1+ and an ARC preamp for less? It will never sell here and I seriously doubt any dealer is going to commit that kind of money to put one on display.

As for the virus, it is a sad day when Americans forfeit their civil rights for a disease two clicks worse than a cold. 
I'm 66. I got myself exposed, had a minor cough and now I am totally immune and can not give the disease to anyone else.
