And just to clarify, by no means am I even considering purchasing these things.
Number one I don't have that kind of money

and number 2, I would find a better way to spend it if i did. You could opt for a denon 5308 and an axiom amp for a little more than half that and I think you would keep most of the features.

I just found it interesting.... and wondered if anyone would consider such an "investment"
