How ironic that at the age where someone can afford such uber-expensive gear, his hearing has probably declined by 20 to 30 %.

Even more ironic, those amps might even be used to play Kenny G's "single-note-ear-bleeder" music.

soniqmike,

I look at it from a positive point of view. That means those able to buy the amps are at 70-80%. Not even sure it's as bad as you make it out to be. It's usually ultra high frequencies anyway. I remember getting upset when I was younger when I would see the "older guys" driving the sport cars I wanted to buy but did not have the paycheck then. I give them credit to be able to live that life. It's not as if any of us here on Audiogon are extremely poor.

Wow, 250k for amps. Then 2k for the crane, 4k to get another power cable to the house, 4k to re-wire the house, 10k to reinforce the flooring, 4k per year to run them etc etc. and if the sound is off... put them on A'Gon?

They are works of art, put them in a museum. As was said in the film  -Field of Dreams- "Build it and they will come". God also said that to Moses re building the ark.

If I could get out of running through my ring of Slonimsky scales practically everyday and make the kinda bank Kenny G does, sign me up.

Dan could charge a cool million as far as I am concerned. Those buying Dan's latest amp are buying a part of HEA history. I don't care if it cost $250.00 or $250,000.00 Dan is one classy man! If I was ever going to buy an amp that described the era of HEA personalities it would be this one.
