Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier?

I've collected a full line of Boulder equipment over the last 16 years. I've find it incredibly realistic, neutral and gorgeous sounding when used with excellent cables and speakers. It is intensely detailed and musical without being harsh and without glare.  The soundstage is rock solid and remains so even with complex and loud signals.  This is an area where some fine electronics fail - the soundstage can diminish in those circumstances. Boulder equipment does need to be continuously powered up with a signal; otherwise it doesn't sound good, in my opinion.  My reference has always been live music (for me, classical music in a great concert hall).

I've heard the 3060 stereo amp and 2110 preamp in a fine system and it is fabulous.

Would I buy the 3000 series? Absolutely. I just can't afford it.

You can have a Mickey D. Burger or a 
1 in. Thick cooked pink Rib Eye there's no
Difference.     Is that what your saying??

Stringreen.  It's the speaker's

As to the singular argument- if you can afford it, it's your decision, and
more power to you-
As long as you made your prodigious wealth honestly and show an equal amount of compassion and empathy in helping those less fortunate, by all means buy whatever you want.  But perhaps your acts of charity might move your spirit even more than the nth degree of electronic sophistication in your living room.

As above- the Rolex comparison was pretty good.
