M900U vs the world

I'm not saying the Emotiva BasX A-300 sounds as good as the M900U, but if you look at the specs, except for the instantaneous max output of the M900U, they really don't look much different. The Emotiva BasX A-300 costs $399 while the M900U costs $20,000 new. There's no way the M900U sounds 50 times better than the Emotiva BasX A-300. I use my Emotiva BasX A-300 to drive my Magnepan 20.1s because it provides 300 watts at 4 ohms. Sure, anyone with the M900U can brag about how much they spent on the amp, but I like to brag about how little I spent for something that sounds pretty darn good. Let the ridicule begin.

I just read at least two websites that said the M900U costs $19,900 (I rounded it up to $20,000) but I did find another that said $17,999. If you can find it cheaper, all the more power to you because I'm all about saving the money for other things. But the entire point of my post is that the Emotiva sounds darn good, can drive 4 ohm, low sensitivity speakers with plenty of power, and there's no way the M900U sounds 50 (or 30 if you get the M900U for $12,000) times better. Can we at least agree on that?

"Comparing a Lux to a Emotiva ?" Yes, I compared the specs as I said and there is very little difference. Don't forget that my very first sentence was "I'm not saying the Emotiva BasX A-300 sounds as good as the M900U". The whole point of my post is that when someone spends $12,000 to $20,000 on an amp, they should be getting something that sounds many, many multiples better than a $399 amp but I don't think they are. Better? Sure, but likely not enough better to justify the cost. I'm a value conscious buyer and if people want to spend that kind of money on an amp, by all means go for it. But don't think I'm going to be impressed because you spent that kind of money and didn't get many, many multiples better sound. I'm more impressed by the sound people can get from value buys. I also said: "Let the ridicule begin." because I knew the pretentious crowd couldn't resist.
