It's not a question of luxury either, since this thing doesn't provide you with anything more that can't be had in a $1000 product. And before you point-out it's "unique features", they can easily be implemented in a *$200* amp.

That's like saying, who would pay over 200 bucks for a home theatre? You can buy a "Home Theatre in a Box" for 150 dollars.

Obviously this isn't targetted towards mainstream entry- or mid-level Home Theatre enthusiasts. This is for people who have a fair amount of disposable income and who care about sound. You won't find the build quality, power, and sound quality most likely delivered here from a 200 dollar amp.

So yes, it is precisely a question of luxury, and of powering equipment that requires relatively high wattage, without sacrificing sound quality.]]>Oct 14th 2006 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/Oct 14th 2006 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/
NO amplifier is worth 21,000 USD, because the only value after about 3000 bucks comes from unquantifiable and irrational variables like, "Hey, I paid 21,000 for this thing. Am I a COMPLETE FREAK, or what?!"]]>Oct 14th 2006 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/Oct 14th 2006 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/14/new-gryphon-mirage-amp-brings-ultra-hifi-to-the-people/
