I think MicroOne marketing is not one centered on pricing, but rather focusing more towards competing products, and is pre-dorminantly result oriented. In all fairness, they have to use at least equal caliber gears (ideally same) with which their competitors are using in order to equally shine at shows and show off their best, how else?
All that said, I as a consumer, would be more concern of how the MicroOnes actually sound in comparison to those said $25-35k competitors. If at all 'near', or as many people claim to even surpass, then at $2.5k, we got ourselves a true audio bargain, a joyous news, and a refreshing break in the high end world--regardless of how it was demo'ed.. imo.
