Why so expensive??


I'm siting here Looking at amps,preamps,speakers,etc...and wondering why some of this stuff cost so much.Don't get me wrong i have some crazy expensive equipment,but $350,000 for amps' come on give me a break.$100,000 for a pre-amp'please.There is no way in h#%* it cost even close to that for parts and build time.So why???What NUT whould buy something like this?Ohh it's the same Nut that just traded in his '06 lamborgini for a '08.God bless you folks with that kinda of cash.And by the way when your ready to trade up let me know i will take your used equipment for FREE since you blowing your money anyway.
Thanks in advanced for your used equipment..

A large part of what you pay for at this end of the price spectrum is the creative vision and artistic execution of the designer or manufacturer. How much do you think it cost Jackson Pollock to splatter paint on a canvas?

Whether the cost is justified is a different question but unlike desirable artwork, audio, no matter how well done, almost certainly decreases in value.
