New kid on the block affordable amp Rave

I echo the comments on the price tag.
I was wondering which amps he was thinking of that cost several multiples of $4K that he was comparing this "affordable" amp to. Presumably people must be buying those more expensive amps if the shortened review article is honest

$4k MSRP isn't really affordable.

No, it's not, for most folks.

$4k MSRP isn't really affordable.

I hate Doug's reviewing style but it did spark an interest...

thanks!

Is this where Doug Schroeder's sensibilities really lie?

"In the same way, I didn’t feel like wasting time listening when I could be the first to introduce this amp to the world."

Regards,

I`ll get a chance to hear it in Las Vegas in a few weeks.Much depends on the reviewer`s bias and hearing perspective. Different sets of ears and listening priorities can lead to other conclusions.Doug`s approach and criteria is different from say Jack Roberts who reviews on the same site.I believe I hear things more along the lines of the latter.Not better or worse, just different.

Let's make it easier to get to.

Doug gets extra points for enthusiasm.
