Jeff Rowland Design Group: Continuum S2 Integrated Amplifier is a class D amp-preamp combo that sells for $10,000. See TAS this month for review. Why would somebody pay that much for a class D amplifier? It is encouraging to read and maybe hear that class D can be made to sound acceptable but what is the point if the price is the same as class A-B or A? I guess it is lighter and the manufacturer can make more money if they can convince people to buy it at that price. Sad comment on the state of audio economics today. It does have a beautiful case. It you package it right they will buy bologna? |
