It is notoriously difficult to build up a high end audio business, and to become so successful in such a short period of time makes BAT even more remarkable. Lamm Industries is another successful young company, so why don't people complain loudly about their $29,000 ML-2? If Joe and Jack G are so jealous of BAT, why don't they start their own successful high end company and sell tubes at a premium? Maybe they tried but failed miserably, hence their attitude. Afterall, Ferrari probably charges more than your local Hyundai shop for their services. So why don't all Hyundai dealers become Ferrari dealers? Just because Uncle Ned can sell the 6H30 at 30 bucks doesn't mean you can just plug these tubes into your VK50SE and forget about it. Do you know how many of Victor's 11,000 tubes will get rejected for poor spec? Maybe only one in ten will make the grade for the VK50SE, and this would make the $100 price tag a bargain.
