RE: What's in Your wallet?

Didn't Ken Ishiwata and Marantz launch a special edition "Pearl" range of components about 5 or 6 years ago? They were rather pricey for what you got, until the retailers started blowing them out of inventory at bargain basement prices.

Denon did something similar with their 100th anniversary PMA-A100 integrated, DPA-100 TT, DCD-A100 CDP. Huge price premium and then the blow out sales.

I'm always cautious with these "premium" components from consumer mass market brands. Not that Marantz is bad but I'm always thinking "resale value". Maybe it's just me. Anyway, I like Marantz and own one of their amps.
