I don't think you have to look too far on this BBS to find empegs with "thefted music"...

Yeah, but the empeg community definitely has less of that element.

And the price point angle is moot when you look at the net gain we got since the fire sale

Yeah, but just buying an empeg is not the end of the purchase. You must also then buy amps, installation, and own a car (in most cases).
