I don't know the answer.

Better parts can really drive up the price of an amp. Look at the prices for AN (UK) double C Core transformers of various sorts! A good Lindhal PP OPT with amorphous cores can set you back over $800/pair. If you go with great iron and other expensive parts but have a simple design, parts can be way more than labour, at a reasonable wage. Then again, AN says they not only use expensive parts, but also match everything they can, so you get the best (worst?) of both worlds as far as cost is concerned.

I certainly agree with your main point.
