I have wondered why Axioms price point has been set so high when Alan has said repeatedly that in double blind test he couldn't hear a difference in various amps. Seeing how all amps sound the same it seems to be a waste of money. How is the nay Sayers going to justify recommending such a high price amp?


A) Because of the R&D costs of making a digital amp unlike any other on the market.
B) Because people will pay that price to buy a digital amp unlike any other on the market.

Wid, just because Axiom sells speakers that are great quality and relatively inexpensive compared to many others does not automatically mean they will do that for every single product through their entire future as a company. They are out trying to make money just as much as any other business. Heck, we all know we can find speaker wire for as cheap as 20 cents a foot so one could just as easily ask why the Axiom version costs near $1.
Perhaps into the future they will come out with slightly lesser powered amp versions to fit into the more typical Axiom-quality-inexpensive price role that some believe Axiom should adhere to at all times.
Or maybe people will go buy Anthem amps at 225w/ch for $600 used like i did.
Just a thought.
