The answer to your question pertaining to say a state-of-the-art racing machine is about $12,000 excluding the primary components e.g. source, amps, speakers.
Actually, the question was simply about 300 watt amps.
So if you add $12k + $10k, the answer to your question is roughly $22k and at that price I'm unaware of any system that comes remotely close to its performance
If you recall, my question was about the cost of the highest performance level amplifiers available without any "at this price" qualifiers.

Again, you're question is pointless because as things stand I'm unaware of any amp under its own power (without outside influence) that can come remotely close to the theoretical Porsche 918 you put up as a benchmark for audio amp performance.
But to indulge you, most amps' performance would equate to a Buick or Chevrolet and the more extreme amps' performance might equate to maybe a Mini-Cooper or perhaps a 15-year old BMW M3 w/o the competition package and with 175k miles under its belt.
That's because without superior outside influences, any amp (or any component for that matter) is incomplete since certain universal distortions, when left unaddressed instill a serious performance-limiting governor on every last component.
But with superior outside influences, this level of performance can be accomplished for $2400 and quite possibly less than that.

It only took - what six posts? - to answer this simple question. We have very different points of reference if you find that a $2400 power amp provides the highest level of audio performance available today.
I would completely agree that your target cannot "come remotely close to the theoretical Porsche 918 you put up as a benchmark for audio amp performance" as you stated.
Yup, $2400 and that's completely stock aside from fuse replacements. And it could probably be done using a significantly cheaper amp than that.
But just so you don't go away with silly thoughts running through your head, it's what's done to shore up the components externally by addressing universal distortions that you obviously know nothing about.
Just a shame you haven't the foggiest what you speaketh. Whether it be between a Boxter and a 918 or between the gulf of performance differences between high-end automobiles or live music (the absolute sound) vs high-end audio.
Regrettably, you're far from alone.
unsubstantiated and completely wrong assumptions found here. Do you feel better?
Thanks for the immature rant. It put a smile on my face. :)
... and your nonsensical question.
The Bored have discussed your status on AA more than one, given complaints from various inmates. After several discussions, the consensus is that either you register as an (M) or you'll need to leave.

Done. My login should now show M.
I suppose it's not so easy to retire or close one's doors.
My former company hasn't been registered as an LLC for several years now.
My website grows outdated a bit more each day as I've not had a merchant account (to accept credit cards for several years now.
The Stereophile webpage should be from 2011 audio show and is outside my control.
Thanks,

Thank you.

You succeeded and provided your point of view.That's all I asked!
edit: BTW, are you no longer affiliated with the rack company? I trust you understand the AA guidelines for manufacturers here.
Edits: 04/01/15
No.
But my login now has an M by it for manufacturer. So now I'm deceiving others with the M just to appease the really moral types.
It seems we truly are in the last days.
Yeah, that whole honesty thing is overrated.
