Guys,
Probably best to let this one just die ... I've been asked not to
get
involved in a p*ssing contest with my mate Gerard, so, having said my
piece
I'm going to do the sensible thing and not comment
further.
Thanks
Phil
Ive gotta agree with Phil!

Actually Gerrard that is complete b*llocks.
I'm
looking at a Denon A1SR AV amp - it's £3,000.
What you're saying is
that somewhere there is a definition of whether
this is value for money
or not, because you seem to stating "That is
totally independent of the
intended purchaser." So in that case the
definition of whether it is
value for money is not made by me as someone
interested in it but by
someone else.
I like the Denon ... I actually think that it is
pretty
good value for
money ... I'm trying to find some way of managing to
afford it but at
the same time I'm open minded enough to also be trying
to find a Pioneer
AX10 to take a listen to just in case it's as
good.
Some people think that the Denon at £3k is too expensive - for
them it
possibly is and I would never try to argue otherwise *FOR THEM*
-
but
then again there are people that wouldn't bat an eyelid at the
Lexicon
MC12 at £10k+ who wouldn't even contemplate such a "cheap" unit
as the
Denon ... Hence value for money is absolutely determined by
the
individual!
Phil
