I hate to be snippy, but didn't Threshold disappear on us and recently reappear?
I may be wrong on that.

But you do bring up a vaild point. Longevity and reliability of a vendor. How much risk are you willing to take to get to your nirvana?
How do you even calculate that risk?

What about vendors that are always coming up with new versions rendering older ones "obsolete" (and greatly lowering their used value)?

Getting back to the S/5000e, based on the soundstage review, I would love to audition one of those amps! One day I may bring myself to try the 30-day in-home trial period. I wish more vendors would offer this (especially for those of us far removed from the nearest "authorized" dealer). Takes some of that proverbial risk away. You got to like that kind of confidence a manufacturer has in their products.

These trial periods are rarely offered by modders.
