Well, only the people who are very well off will have a 30k integrated unless a second mortgage is taken out.
High end audio has always since my teen years been a hobby learning, observing and seeing where financially I fit in. Since I fall middle, middle class for income even a $1000.00 integrated is big money for me. I love music as much as any audiophile but cannot afford to change systems on a whim. This is where network music streaming is prime for people like me that cannot afford thousands of LPs.
It is good Audiogon provides a service that offers quality moves for less than 5 years prior prices. I estimate, my guess only 10% of the world population would fork over 30k for an integrated. Unless there are more people that I realize with deep pockets.??
