In Reply to: Warranty? posted by slapshot on November 29, 2014 at 16:31:11:
Warranty is factored into the price.
For instance Amp A may use better parts than Amp B. Amp A gives a 5 year warranty and charges $1,000. The amp is likely to last 25 years.
Amp B using worse parts but a thicker external case charges $2,000 and gives you a 20 year warraty. The amp is likely to last 25 years.
And 20 years of listening hell isn't much of a win over 5 years of bliss and a few hundred dollars in a repair bill.
