It does not make sense to me to try and sell an amp at $3500 to a crowd of people looking at "budget" speakers. I wonder if there was a pole of axiom owners how many people own a $3500+ amp. I always thought it would make sense to budget there amps around the same price as lets say the outlaw amps. I think that might steal alot of buis. from outlaw. BTW outlaw is makeing speakers know.
