Would it make a difference if it costed only $20k ? I heard the story that P.Qvotrup and mr.Kondo appeared at Sound by Singer store to talk about distribution of their new reference amplifier- the Ongaku. They suggested the price of $20k , "oh no said the store owner , we make it $70k " otherwise serious morons, sorry american audiophiles would not take it seriously. And history was made.
