Actually Gerrard that is complete b*llocks.

I'm looking at a Denon A1SR AV amp - it's £3,000.

What you're saying is that somewhere there is a definition of whether
this is value for money or not, because you seem to stating "That is
totally independent of the intended purchaser." So in that case the
definition of whether it is value for money is not made by me as someone
interested in it but by someone else.

I like the Denon ... I actually think that it is pretty good value for
money ... I'm trying to find some way of managing to afford it but at
the same time I'm open minded enough to also be trying to find a Pioneer
AX10 to take a listen to just in case it's as good.

Some people think that the Denon at £3k is too expensive - for them it
possibly is and I would never try to argue otherwise *FOR THEM* - but
then again there are people that wouldn't bat an eyelid at the Lexicon
MC12 at £10k+ who wouldn't even contemplate such a "cheap" unit as the
Denon ... Hence value for money is absolutely determined by the
individual!
