WTF??? A company doesn't have a right to make 30% margin on a product? They're not selling canned goods or pork bellies, they're selling a high technology product. There is a premium to pay for a product as advanced as the Empeg. If 30% was too much margin, nobody would be buying them.

What's with all this whining about paying so much? Are you unhappy with the product? You paid what you paid when you paid it, and at the time, it seemed like a good purchase or you wouldn't have done so, right???

I'm sick of people whining about the high cost. I'm not made of money by any stretch but I feel I paid a fair (though high) price for my empeg. The price is going down now, but I had the pleasure of owning my empeg for almost a full year now. Prices fall, that's how things work.

In a year or whenever, will you be complaining that if you had saved your $1299, you could have bought a Mark 3 player?
