I didn't mean to imply it was junk, I like Parasound and DO have experience with them.
They are also more toward where TLS was talking about the market going. Parasound is already there. The benefit is higher quality, but the lower volume means we pay more.
I'm not even going to argue its not a good value - I think it's about where decent stuff should be expected to be priced.
