Dude, I can get all kinds of AN gear for WAY less than it retails for...just because you found some suckers doesn't mean we all are. Every pieces of gear we demoed recently was available for at least 30% under retail (the used gear for less than 50%). Audiomarkt is full of AN stuff selling for way under retail.
I can buy an Oto for 1500 CHF. The new price is well over 4000. Typical markdown with age. If it was only 1500 new 15 years ago then AN has been pretty aggressive in its price hikes.
You are talking out your ass if you think most AN gear is selling for more than it costs. Does it lose less value than some brands, maybe.
"Again TAKE YOUR PERSONAL OPINION OF SOUND OUT OF THE EQUATION. You say McIntosh suck but not everyone agrees with you - plenty of people happen to like the sound of McIntosh tube amplifiers - "
What personal opinion? I give you an example of gear that holds its value well that's all. You keep blah blahing but you miss the point that I was responding to your comment about success financially and sound...now you want to backtrack and give all your rationalizations...save it you made the remark live with it.
"Sales Success isn't a direct indicator to good sound - but a lack of success isn't a direct indicator of good sound either. Gee these five companies went out of business (or sorry lost an entire continent because no one bought any of them) they MUST BE FABULOUS because they didn't sell against any of the competition!!"
If it was then you would own B&W speakers and McIntosh amps. Sales comes down to dealer bias as well and margins they get from manufacturers. If you think otherwise, go into the business and see. One brand will be pushed over others with nothing to do with sound but profits. Simple economics that eludes your grasp.
No one will ever take an Apogee to your Soundhound nonsense.
