Yeah maybe if you compare the Weston to Chinese amps. But then again not all Chinese amps are bad. The Ming Da is a good example, and now there's Prima Luna that Bill likes more than any amps he has ever had (Weston, Arion, MacIntosh, Patek and the list goes on).
Forget all the reasoning behind why he let go the other amps. To me, the most important thing is what amps/DACs/speakers (or any other gear really) that people keep for themselves. After spending some money on hifi, I never believe people when they say it sounds good but eventually they sell them, for whatever reason.
If I have to choose between Weston and Ming Da at the same category of price, I would go for the Ming Da because they simply sound better....until you buy one of the Weston amps, tweak it and have me convinced that it does sound better than the Ming Da.
Look, Supratek sells MANY expensive hifi gear because they do sound pretty good. If the Weston products are very good sounding, I have no doubt people will buy regardless of the price. So, why the price should be the problem? Market segmentation perhaps? Make cheap products to sell more and profit more. But, would you sacrifice the quality of the gear you manufacture because you want more money? I am sure you will not.
