jt1stcav Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 In the latest Stereophile magazine, it's big brother with the massive power supplies in seperate housings go for $350,000 for the pair! What a bargain, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Well actually, I've been a taking serious look at this amp. I was thinking about picking it up for Paul's birthday present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dflip Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Well actually, I've been taking serious look at this amp. I was thinking about picking up for Paul's birthday present. Dean: I think you may have to actually become the Best Buy of crossover mods to afford those puppies. I don't think there are enough members in this forum for you to make that kind of profit. You are just going to have to find another more appropriate gift for Paul, may I suggest a box of Saltenes. Then he can have all the crackers he wants.

Hell, if I had that kind of money, I'd would just be getting a brand new pair of Klipschorns and perhaps a pair of those Wright Sound amps that Griff should me the four-color glossies for. The rest of the money I saved from not buying that overpriced gear would be put towards building an "acoustically correct" room much like what Artto has.

Daddy Dee Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I could write a check for it. Why not! I've still got plenty of checks! edit: Mark, that is a good point to ponder. Is there anyone on the forum who would drop that kind of money on an amp? After thinking on that for a while, there may be people around here who could do that if they wanted to, but being on the Klipsch forum, they are too smart to be taken in by that.

sunnysal Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 hey for $350,000 I could get Sade and Lisa Stansfield to play for my birthday party and have enough left over for an H2 and some new waverunners (and I suspect a few other goodies)...Just for the record I have nothing against people with significant wealth buying toys that please them (lots of people spend that much on cars, boats, planes, etc. every year)...more power to'em. regards, tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
