What many don’t understand is a segment of the audiophile community prefers the objective quality to be poor. Why do you think there’s such a large market for tube amps? Surely you’ve heard of subjectivist forums, tube amps, crazy tweaks etc. It’s that stuff that sells for the most.
People who buy tube amps don’t know any better or else they wouldn’t buy tube amps. The best engineering is the engineering that results in the best performance. Otherwise it’s just abstract art. Which could be beautiful in anyones eyes regardless of performance.
I’m not arguing that. What I’m saying is the objectivist market is becoming dominated by the Chinese. So if you decide you want to enter the same market, and your costs to get the same product to the consumer is 3-4x what it costs your competition, good luck.

They aren’t in the same market. The Chinese sell direct to consumer, and use forums like this to advertise. Hegel sells through a distributor/dealer network, and sells products based on in person audition.

I build all my own audio gear. And I still hate audio gear. I only build it because I want to hear my music in the best way possible. If I could do that from a system that’s completely invisible, I’d be all over it. I guess that’s why I do SOTA active in wall speakers.
