This seems to be the product du jour---carve your amp out of a block of aluminum, which really escalates product manufacturing costs. We even now see D'agostino carving them out of copper and pricing his new gems at 42k a pair.
What are the benefits of said structure---compared to a normal casing with heat sinks. Has anyone seen any measurement benefits of the solid structure?
I'm just curious really---I agree it looks really awesome, but Ayre and Jeff Rowlands new stereo amps cost 15k now because of this structure. that is a lot of coin for a STEREO amp. There are a lot of more typical monoblocks that cost the same as these new solid billet amps.
