What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework?


What is the approximate cost of the casework on the big Krells, big Pass Labs and big Gryphon amps?  What is the approximate cost of  casework on similar big solid state amps?

What are the chances of a manufacturer getting the internal amp design to sound right if they can't get casework that is functional and looks good?  It would be like a songwriter saying the bridge section doesn't work, but the first and second first are solid.
It’s what’s inside that counts.
So you would pay Porsche prices for a Porsche built car that looked like a Gremlin?

BTW, Schitt Audio clearly pays attention to how their products look.  As does PS Audio, NAD and other "budget" audiophile brands.  Their cases are not cheaply made.  Making it look good is relatively easy.  Getting it to sound good is harder.  If you can't do the easy part, how you going to do the hard part?
