I like the fact that some of the major players in the car audio game are making units similar to my empeg. It tells me that the guys at empeg had a good idea. Good enough that Sonic Blue bought them.

Whether or not there is a market for the high dollar units is not my point here, but like everything else electronic - if it sticks around and catches on, the units will be produced with more and more features for less and less money as time goes on.

Hopefully I have many more years of life in my MKII. I cant imagine driving without it now. But when it does decide to let its smoke out, I hope the market has some of these new fancy brand name products available and I can start over.
