$189,600 amp is most definitely overpriced

$189,600 amp is most definitely overpriced

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but I've just got to let you know something about this Goldmund Telos 5000 Amplifier: it's a ripoff. Look, I'm sure it's great at what it does. I bet it makes your music sound just awesome. But it also costs $189,600.

Let's get real. There is absolutely no piece of audio equipment worth that much money. I'm sure that the fact that there are 16 separate transformers for an even power supply makes a huge difference and everything but come on. The sad part is that they made 25 of these things, and almost all of them are already sold out. Good lord.

RIGHT ON!!!

That's just insane. Anyone who would pay that much money for an amp, could employ an electrical engineer for 2 years and get them to hand build the amp, probably for less.

Simply insane. Oh to be one of the people who can throw away that much money on items like this.
