No one is offended here. Honestly I thought the same as you when I recently started looking at amps. As I said I prefer to source from a Canadian company and there isn't a lot to choose from. I tend to keep my stuff a long time, so long term the price is in line. When I was 16 (35yrs ago) I paid almost a grand for my integrated amp 65w/ch so 3g for 5 channels 250w/ch doesn't seem out of line. I have never bought anything based on a review so it has no sway for me one way or the other. I prefer owners experience's more than anything,which is why I come here.
