VAC - Statement 450 Power amp $78K amp

This is really a VAC statement, supper big, supper heavy and super expensive. 8 X KT88 and 5 X 6SN7 output 450 Watt/ch. The interesting thing is the top unit sits on some ball joint above the power supply, so it can kind swivel. It is driving a pair of Magico S5, the dealer trying to promote the less expensive new Magico line. Unfortunately, the sound does not come close to justify the price.
