Your post was not entirely ironic...

How does applying the Red Rose logo and slapping on a $2000 price hike suddenly make it a high-end amp?

Does not read(to me) as a good example of irony, instead it seems like a statement of fact. While in the form of a question, it implies that Red Rose made no other physical modifications except "slapping on a $2000 price hike". The only way that your sentence could be factually true is if you, or someone else, has made a direct comparison of both amplifier's physical components, both external and internal. Were you referring to a published review comparing the units?

Although, your following sentence was clearly ironic in nature:

Oh, sorry, I forgot, they're not the same: one is an inexpensive piece from China and the other is a inexpensive piece from China with a Designer label. :-).

So, to me, it seems your post was a mixture of both accusation and irony, maybe that was the reason people misinterpeted it.
