New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000

Sounds like just the amp you need when you buy those 70 dB efficient speakers you've been wanting....

I have to wonder if the “golden toilet” crowd who can afford these even turn them on an any
sort of semi-regular basis. That, to me, is the
ironically sad part of pandering to the 10% crowd. 

Ive never heard any of his amps and have no interest. It’s america so even selling poison to people will make one rich, but those who do eventually have to stare morality in the face.

I don’t have those problems, my conscience is clear and I’m happy to just pay the rent, keep us fed, my daughter's Therapies paid for and the occasional record purchase this month even if I have to work 75+ hours to do it.

Consumption makes the world go around. Pays taxes, pays wages, etc. it’s good for those who make and those who consume. And then we get to benefit from the trickle down.  Why hold anything against folks who have enough money to spend on these?  I don’t but certainly fine with those who do.

Good for you, you get the bigger picture. I can't afford these amps either, but I'm also not jealous of those who can. And at some point we all benefit from this leading edge R&D.

If there were no people who could afford gear at the very top level, it wouldn't exist, and I think that would be a shame.
