When I mentioned that a fully auto-tune amp that delivers over 15 KW can be
had for $32,000, I meant it. These amps are being sold to overseas
customers. The $32,000 also gets you a remote head that sits on your
operating desk while the main unit is elsewhere, like in a separate room
with airconditioning and sound proofing. The maker cannot build them fast
enough to keep up with demand.

Hi Howard,
The 32 thousand dollars for the expert amp was an error. The list software
does not like the pound symbol, and changed it to a 3. So, 2499 pounds
became 32499.

Ron,
That was $32,000 for the amp with auto tune. Not 32Kw
