Actually if you bought within 30 days of the price drop you can get a credit for the difference just by waiting on hold long enough at DR. At least it worked for me. ;-)

Yes, I've lusted after an empeg for years, and when they dropped to $800 I bought one... 10 days later they dropped again, and I snatched up another, but I would have been happy paying the $800, and if I'd had the money earlier, I would have happily paid $1400, but I guess I'm not the average consumer.

I heard it said once that the empeg is something that under most conditions would never have made it out of the engineering prototype phase - too geeky and expensive to manufacture, and that's probably true, but I sure am happy to have got one (or two).

And if anyone hears about a price drop on the Mclaren F1 to 1000, please let me know via pager! I'll buy several!
